BITESIZE | How To Stay Calm, Connected And In Control When Conversations Get Difficult | Jefferson Fisher

Most of us spend our lives in conversation – yet very few of us are ever taught how to communicate well. Whether it’s with our partners, colleagues, family or friends, we often assume that being heard is the same as being understood. But true communication isn’t just about the words we use – it’s about the tone, timing and energy behind them.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 571 with trial lawyer, sought after public speaker and author of the book, The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More –  Jefferson Fisher

Jefferson believes that better communication can transform not only our relationships, but our health and happiness as well.

In this clip, he shares the three essential principles to better communication, and how to shift from reaction to reflection by making your first word your breath.
