🤔 Are you ready to take your communication skills to the next level? In this video, we will explore the fourth and final pillar of great communication: Empowering others through choices. By incorporating this pillar into your interactions, you can create unbreakable alliances forged by trust.

As human beings, we all seek psychological comfort. And one way to achieve this comfort is by feeling safe and in control. When we give others choices, we empower them and make them feel in control and secure. Our ancient primal brain craves this sense of control and awareness of our environment.

Empowering others with choices goes beyond just making them feel safe and secure. It also fosters transparency, honesty, and openness, which are crucial in building trust. Whether you're recruiting confidential human sources or communicating with your family, empowering people with choices is key.

Here are some practical ways to incorporate choices into your communication:

1️⃣ Use the word "if": "If that is something you are comfortable with?"

2️⃣ Offer multiple options: When scheduling a meeting, provide several locations, dates, and times to choose from.

Remember, balance is essential. Not every situation calls for offering choices. However, it's crucial to ensure that at least one of the four pillars of communication is present in each statement you make. If you can include choices, that's fantastic. But if not, seek thoughts, opinions, or validate others instead.

But don't stop here. To truly master the art of communication, practice is key. Make these techniques your own, adapt them to your personality, and become a great forger of trust, a builder of relationships, and an innovative problem solver. Be a resource for the success of others, and watch your options in life expand as you forge healthy relationships.

Now, it's your turn to take action! How will you empower others through choices in your next communication.
