SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - IMPACT!

No matter what you assume, your words do affect others!

They can accept what you say, or reject it but either way the other person has to use their energy to deal with your output.

We tend to be pretty insensitive to our impact on those around us and the less we pay attention the more harm we can do, and the less we understand what comes back at us!



DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

PICKING UP THE SIGNS…
Five clues to negative impact:

1)  Body language - Crossed arms? Raised shoulders? Clenched fists?

2)  Voice - Too loud? Too low? Too high pitched?

3)  Facial changes - Looking away? Staring? Muscle tightness? Twitches?

4)  Physical distance - Moving away? Standing too close? Leaving the room?

5) Continued contact - Avoidance?
