communication Sorting & Labeling leadership credibility coaching women in leadership presentation skills

A leader is losing credibility with her senior leaders. Her boss thinks she can turn it around by learning the sorting tool that transformed him as a communicator, so he brings in the coach who taught him.


Sorting & Labeling! The grandaddy of all communication tools. If you can sort and label you will sound like a leader.


The four steps in Sorting & Labeling:

  1. Use a headline
  2. Use a number
  3. Label each number
  4. Transition with clarity


See it all for yourself in our free Sorting & Labeling infographic.

How to Answer Questions Powerfully

Hosts
Tom
Keywords
answering questions coaching communication skills leadership perception

A leader was given one goal for his coaching: improve how he answered questions. Knowing he struggled with this not only at work, but at home, he asked his coach for tools. 

Our free PDF shows the two scripts: one for closed-ended questions, one for open-ended. Download it here.

Don’t assume you know why people ask what they ask. You don’t. Ever.

    

The closed-ended script:

  • Answer what’s asked
  • Match Length
  • Check for understanding
  • Then add your details

No mattress stuffing!

It’s a customer service exchange.


The open-ended script:

  • Start with a number 
  • Label the first item
  • Explain in brief

Make the leap. Start with a number. It’ll be okay.

When you know things, use this script. You will sound expert.


The open-ended script is a variation of the Sorting & Labeling tool. Download the PDF and listen to the episode.

How to Build Self-Esteem

Hosts
Tom
Keywords
self-esteem self-acceptance self-worth happiness self-talk coaching Nathaniel Branden The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

A leader suddenly hears how harshly she speaks to herself. Wanting help, she turns to her coach who gives her tools to build a practice of self-esteem.     


The three self-esteem practices are:

  • Self-Acceptance: Practice being FOR yourself
  • Self-Worth & Happiness: Practice saying, “I am worthy of being happy”
  • Live in Reality: Practice acknowledging what is and what is not.

The Tools bin with other free resources is here.


Four ways to help you live in reality:

  • Respect facts
  • Respect facts about yourself
  • Interpretations are not facts
  • Feelings are not facts


Nathaniel Branden’s “The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem” is still a definitive work. Check out the 31-week sentence completion exercise in the back.
