Welcome to Marc‘s Monday minute😊🤔.

A Special Far and Away edition

Let me ask you? Has someone ever said to you “ don’t take that tone with me” or “ watch your tone of voice”.

Tone is one of the three most important parts in a conversation. That’s where conversation skills training comes in. Knowing when to watch your tone, and make sure that you’re using the right tone talking to someone.

Here’s a simple communication trick:

“ this is where “think before you speak” comes in the play.

The right tone should be:

Calm: Keep your voice steady, even when discussing difficult topics.
Respectful: Show consideration, regardless of whether you agree.
Friendly: Create an approachable and welcoming atmosphere.
Confident: Speak clearly without sounding demanding or aggressive.
Empathetic: Adjust your tone to recognize the other person’s feelings.

The proper tone helps build trust, show respect, reduce misunderstandings, and make others feel comfortable and valued.

👉”Remember: Your words deliver the message, but your tone delivers the feeling behind it.”

The right words, delivered with the right tone, can turn a difficult conversation into a positive connection.

See you next Monday for a special episode.😎 Have a great week!!

Welcome to Marc‘s Monday minute😊🤔

Let me ask you? Do you find it hard saying “NO” to someone or something?

Do you get nervous or don’t know how to say it without hurting their feelings?

Saying “NO” is not as hard as you think as long as you know how to say it. That’s where conversation skills training comes in.

Here’s a simple communication trick:

“When you have to say NO, don’t stop at NO.

Explain briefly what your reason is for saying NO, then offer what you CAN do. A boundary doesn’t have to end the conversation—it can redirect it.”
For example:

“I can’t provide that benefit, but I can offer you this alternative that may still help.”

It keeps the boundary firm while showing that you’re trying to help rather than simply rejecting the person.

👉”Don’t just say no—show them what’s possible.

Welcome to Marc‘s Monday minute😊🤔

Timing, timing, timing. Let me ask you, Do you know when to have the conversation—or do you just jump right in?

Before your next important conversation, stop and ask yourself: Is this the right time, or am I about to make things harder?”?’

Here’s a simple communication trick: Ask one question to ensure it is the right time with no distractions.

“Do you have the time—and the attention—for this conversation?”

That one question ensures the other party listens, processes and responds effectively

Remember: Right words, right time, better conversations!”

Welcome to Marc‘s Monday minute😊🤔

“Ever hang up from a call centre thinking, ‘Did they even listen to me?’

Here’s a simple communication trick: after you explain your issue, ask, ‘Can you repeat back what you heard me say?’ If they are unable to repeat what you have said, you can then ask for a manager.

That one question turns hearing into understanding, probably will have them actually help you —and that’s the power of conversational skills!”

Welcome to Marc‘s Monday minute😊🤔

Do you respond right away or do you think about your response? Have you heard or used the “30 second pause” or know its benefits?

Or does it really matter? Let me tell you.

👉When someone says something to you where you think, “ did they really say that to me” or “what a rude thing to say “ and then you respond emotionally, later thinking that I shouldn’t have said that and ruin your relationship with them, think 🤔 and then ask them…..

👉Can you please give me “30 seconds” to think about that? 🤔🤔

👉That 30 seconds will give them a chance to think what they said and you a chance to take a couple deep breaths and think about a logical response without ruining a more meaningful and respectful conversation afterwards.

This week , try using the “30 Second Pause” if necessary response and see how your conversation goes after that unexpected comment is made.
