Words that Change Minds – How to Deliver Not-So-Great Feedback

Trouble communicating with a colleague spurred my intense desire to have a conversation with Neuro-Linguistic Programming Expert Shelle Rose Charvet. As the author of both Words that Change Minds and Wishing, Wanting and Achieving and the owner of some very funky, rhinestone-clad, pink rubber cowgirl boots, Shelle shared some simple strategies for making words word in your favor.

To deliver good news – say it and leave, so that that people are not waiting around expecting the bad news to come.

To deliver not-so-good news – State the information, then say ‘but’ and add three good things.

For example, “The way you spoke to me on during our last conversation was really unacceptable BUT I value our relationship AND I appreciate what you did for the committee AND I look forward to working with you again.
