Episode notes
Make Words Tone And Actions Congruent
- Treat words, vocal tone, and nonverbal behavior as one integrated message.
- Before speaking, consider whether your words will leave someone bitter or better, because spoken words cannot be retrieved.
Your Thoughts Show Up In Your Body
- Thoughts trigger physical signals, often revealing attitudes before speakers consciously choose them.
- A closed posture can expose resistance even when someone verbally says, “What’s up?”
Match Your Message Across Three Channels
- Check whether your words, tone, and body language agree before trying to project enthusiasm or confidence.
- Folded arms, a flat tone, or a shaking head can contradict words such as “I’m excited.”
