Effectively Deal with Passive-Aggressive Behavior | Video 2

Are you ready to discover how to ask strong coaching questions to those difficult people who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior?

If so, this video is for you.

I’ll share a few coaching questions that you can begin using with the person with this difficult condition.
Plus, you’ll learn action steps to take.

You’ll find the link to video 1 in the series “Effectively Deal with Passive-Aggressive Behavior” below this post.

Let’s get real: This conversation won’t be easy. I suggest that you start out easy. This may be a good time for you to bring up coaching to this person If the communication backfires.

Here are a few questions to get you started with those who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior:

  • Do you put off doing things as a way to punish others?
  • What is the truth that needs expressing?
  • What effects does this have on your life/work/relationships?

I use these questions when coaching clients who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior and seek my guidance.
I repeat you can start off using 1 question just to test the water.

Passive-Aggressive Behavior is Usually Tough to Handle on Our Own

  • It isn’t easy to change passive-aggressive behavior
  • Standing up for yourself is difficult
  • Passive-aggressive behavior is an easier way for them to deal with emotions without having to confront the source of their anger.

I hope these strategies will help you to effectively deal with passive-aggressive behavior.

I’m here if you want a private session or to help you create a successful plan and practice the skills you learned in this video.
Call me at 248.681.5831 or send me an email and we can set up a couple of sessions that will reduce your inner peace.

2 Surprising Tips to Make Your Relationships Better |Video

Are you ready for two easy and surprising tips to make your relationships better?

This week’s video shows you how to get better results even during a difficult conversation.

Coaching clients get powerful results after practicing these strategies with me. It’s surprisingly easy.

Stephen R. Covey said, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand: they listen with the intent to reply.”

Improve Your Relationships Tip #1: Explore From the Other Person’s Shoes

Here are two examples:

  • “I’d be pretty mad if I were in your shoes.”
  • “I can see why you may say this.”

These statements show that you are listening deeply. Your relationships will improve when others see that you are really with them.

Make Better Relationships Tip # 2: Propose a Harmonious Outcome

The following examples show you how easy it is:

  • “What bothers you most about the person?”
  • “How can you explain your reason for acting this way?”

You are not judging, just asking two exploratory questions to help the other person resolve his or her situation.

Joyce, What Are Your Thoughts? 

I’m glad you asked. 🙂
Just listen to others communicate. It won’t take long for you to figure out that most people listen only to reply. They are not with the other person and it’s so evident.

Remember Stephen Covey’s quote:
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand: they listen with the intent to reply.”

Stay Cool During Difficult Conversations | Video

  • Do you get frustrated when difficult conversations go sour?
  • Are you tired of not resolving conflict with the same person?
  • And, the constant fighting and sarcasm go on and on?

If so, please stay right here.
Discover 2 important coaching and communication strategies that my clients successfully use.

The 2-minute video below gives you 2 EASY Tips to get you started.

Difficult Conversations Tip #1

Diffuse conflicts by responding consciously rather than automatically.

This tip works because you are in control of how you want to react.
You consciously think about this versus automatically opening your mouth without giving any thought.
Aren’t you glad you’re reading this post? 🙂

Difficult Conversations Tip # 2

Get into THE GAP by taking a breath or brief silence on how you want to express yourself.
Especially when you are off-center with another person.

Additionally, think if this is the best time to say something or cool off and respond later.

Many times we forget that we have control over these tough conversations.

There are many choices. The challenge is that we automatically respond without thinking.
This is what gets us into trouble.

What Does Freedom Mean to You? Video

This week’s article deals with freedom and what it means to you.

I was asked to create a short video on why freedom is important to me.

Gina Carr and Terry Brock are the guides in Video Rock Starz. They created a 5-day challenge on Funding Your Freedom. You will find more videos in the next few articles.

Here are My Thoughts on Freedom

  • Creating life on my terms.
  • Finding and coaching clients who I enjoy because they are growth-minded.
  • Making time to exercise because it’s part of my day that I love.
  • Spending hours with friends and relatives who are fun to be with.
  • Remaining silent if I chose to be.
  • Using my voice to be heard especially during conflict.
  • Laughing loudly and often.

Freedom and Conflict freedom

My main reason for doing what I do as a conflict resolution coach is to support clients to feel free to use their voices.

I find many clients are concerned about being honest and direct because they are conflict adverse. 

Resolving conflict is something that most of us don’t learn in school.

It doesn’t matter the age of clients concerning feeling comfortable speaking their truth.  

Many of us came from families that didn’t handle conflict well.

The great news is that it doesn’t take long to change our mindset once we learn how to start the conversation.

It’s gratifying seeing clients become free and more confident.  

Hey, anyone who knows me, knows that this has been my story and how I broke free from not using my voice.

What Does Freedom Mean to You?

Now it’s your turn.

Think about what freedom means to you.

Please comment below.

It will be fascinating to read many different answers to this question.
