Better Conversations Worth Having with Jackie Stavros

How to have conversations that are more productive. Better conversations lead to better relationships in personal and business connections. Jackie Stavros talks to us on the podcast, Your Intended Message. ----- That's a great question, George, I think, if you're aware of it, and we're talking about it now, you are you have an intention to decide, am I going to come into a conversation above the line from an appreciative space? Or, you know, am I am I below the line? And in our book, we talk about the importance of tuning into yourself, and simply asking a question, Where am I am I above the line, or that depreciate a place below the line. And if you're below the line, and you're listening to this, just try this technique to pause, take a deep breath, see how that feels in you, and get curious and just pausing and breathing, get you to move above the line, it just resets your whole body mindset. Jackie, I want to clarify what the line represents. So imagine a straight line, if you're above the line, that's called an appreciative space, where I value you, George, I value the situation that we're in. And I want to add value. So that's appreciation. If you're below that line, you're in that depreciated space where, you know, I may not be valuing you, I may not value the situation. And sometimes, if you don't think about your intended message, you could fall the words can take you below the line and even if you don't get enough sleep or have enough water, or you know, just just your physiologic can push you below that line. So think about where am I? --- Boost you conversations by keeping it above the line.
