Parents, like myself, are always negotiating with today's kids. Parents get tired and throw out a 'big threat' to take away a big event or family trip, though in reality, the parents wouldn't cancel after planning it and investing in it. The kids know this, and manipulate or misbehave. How can good communication help? Watch this video to learn a quick adjustment to your verbal threat, that can actually work to increase compliance. Change the threat to a situation where the kids' behaviour can dictate their own level of fun. Feel free to share other parenting tips for this scenario below.

Happy to finally share the full podcast/interview: "BIG Communication Headaches in Real Estate - Agents Beware!"

I interviewed GN Allen, a Performance Sales Trainer who trains agents in various workshops and seminars, including a 10-week webinar series we did together in 2025 (through 3V Communications) focusing on Body Language.

In this 35 minute podcast, now on my Communication Coach YouTube channel, we discuss communication challenges in the industry, and more importantly, give advice on what the agents could do better, to create a smoother, more confident presentation, and comfortable sales discussion. These verbal and non-verbal communication tips are useful for anyone in sales, and also anyone buying or selling a home. I hope you enjoy!

Feel free to share your own experiences and tips!

Not all signs of deception are visible, some are heard.

Subtle changes in tone, pitch, pace, and hesitation can reveal more than words alone. Our voices often carry emotional information we don’t intend to share, especially under stress or when trying to conceal the truth.

Understanding these vocal cues doesn’t mean jumping to conclusions, but it can help you ask better questions, listen more closely, and respond with greater awareness.

Strong communication skills, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution are essential for success in both professional and personal life, agreed?

In this video, we’ll explore assertiveness training, leadership skills, stress management, and how to navigate difficult conversations to help you excel in the workplace and beyond.

Question: Are you comfortable being uncomfortable?

Can you be firm but fair, and assertive not aggressive?

Communication Coach Small Talk Tip: embrace talking about the immediate environment (i.e. weather, interior design) as you cannot and should not avoid it. That which surrounds us has real power to connect us.

Think about life 100 years ago, in an agricultural society. How important was the weather? Would it make or break your annual crop yield? Would it affect you on a daily basis? Would it be a hot topic of conversation? YES.
