​

This is a great framework developed by More To Be that you can
use in any communication senior. 

​

​Timing is a key piece of communicating effectively.

• Is this a good time to bring this up?

• Am I being rational or emotional?

• Is this a good time to hear them out?

​

The tone of your voice often conveys more than your words do.

• What is the tone in my voice and my body language?

• What is the tone of our relationship?

• What is the overall tone of the environment we’re in at this moment?

​

The technique is how you say it

• Am I starting out with the positive?

• Am I using words like always and never?

• Am I owning my actions or playing the victim?

​

Tell people the TRUTH

• Is what I am saying a truth?

• Is what they are saying to me a truth that I need to hear even If their timing, tone, and technique stinks?

• Is it possible for me to be teachable, in spite of how I feel, and apply this truth to my life?
