Bridging - Acknowledge, Bridge, Convert
<p>In this epsiode J.Marie gives her version on the classic communications technique of bridging. We are all familiar with when a policitian or leader is asked about something they don't want to answer and they redirect the conversation to another topic they do want to talk about. This can easily feel disingenuous, but as leaders being able to redirect a conversation or pivot when you are asked something you can't or wont answer is a tactic you want in your bag of rhetorical tricks. J.Marie gives the run down on the ABC's of bridging: Acknowledge, Bridge, Convert. She wraps the concept of up with additional skills to create a more holistic method of redirecting conversation while remaining transparent and authentic.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for classes with J.Marie <a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">here</a>.<br><a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders</a></p>

Listening as a Strategy
<p>Public leaders are often remarkably effective at engaging your communities through active listening. After decades as a communication and leadership consultant, J.Marie has found that leaders often miss an easy opportunity to use what you've heard to not just make good decisions, but to also build trust and credibility. She will talk about the extra step you can take to demonstrate to your constituents that what you've heard has transformed your thinking and is guiding your decisions and actions moving forward. In this episode, J.Marie provides you the roadmap by which you can close the loop of communication to demonstrate to audiences that not only do you listen, but you care.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for classes with J.Marie <a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">here</a>.<br><a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders</a></p>

Their Story is not my Story
<p>It is a very human, often subconscious, habit to assume we understand what others are thinking and why they do the things they do. In this episode J.Marie shares a true story that demonstrates how thoroughly wrong we can be ... and how quickly our own inner experience can shift simply by remembering that we are responsible for the stories we tell ourselves. She also notes how this technique works in reverse, giving you a tool to free yourself from the assumed perspectives and judgements of others and empowering you to take responsibility for your own truth.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for classes with J.Marie <a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">here</a>.<br><a href="https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders">https://www.jmarie.associates/group-trainings-public-leaders</a></p>
