Lesson 1: FRIEND or FOE?

Lesson 1: FRIEND or FOE?  Effective Communication that Works! by: Jennifer Kruse

Humans & Animals alike Share the Same Thought as We Approach Another... 
We All Ask the Same Question:  

       Friend   OR   Foe?            

Friend.

---

Foe.

---

If You Want Someone to HEAR YOU, 
Find a Way to Stay on Their "Friend Side."

Friends: 
Smile at You
Look Happy to See You!
Have a Kind Voice
Wish to Talk
Are Always Right
Agree with You
Share Common Ground
Hear Their Friends!

Find a Way to 
Make Them Right:
"Yes...I AGREE!  
I Totally Understand.
I Felt or Thought the SAME! 
BUT THEN...
I Realized This:
:) _____________________ :)
(Insert Positive Thing) 
:)
Walk Around Block With Them:
Share the Story of YOUR Thoughts/Feelings/Experiences 
which Brought You from: 
Where THEY ARE NOW to 
Your NEW POSITIVE Thought/Belief.
"I Realized it's NOT Healthy 
for ME to Worry About 
That Anymore." 
"I Feel So Much Better  Now That _______."

Foes: 
Are NOT Smiling
Don't Look Happy at All!
Sound Crabby
Want to Argue
Are Always Wrong
Disagree with You
Defend Where They Stand
Only Hear Their Friends!

You Can 
Disagree & Argue:
Telling Them 
HOW & WHY 
They are WRONG... 
but it Really Won't Help!
:(
Foes are Too Busy 
DEFENDING THEMSELVES from YOU...
 Foes Can't Hear You!
They ONLY Hear Their Friends!
:(
The Moment YOU 
are Identified as their: "FOE"
Their BRICK WALL of Defense 
Goes Up Between You! 
:(
This Wall is Sound Proof!
"Words of Reason" 
cannot Penetrate It! 

Comparing the TWO LISTS above, the ONLY thing they have in Common is:
They Both Hear Their Friends!
Effective Communication Becomes EASY... 
Simply Practice the Art of Staying on the "Friend Side!"
