Direct or respectful
Productive or kind
No need to choose
The Interactifs Discipline© reconciles how we like to be spoken to and how we speak to others.
How do you like to be spoken to?
For over 30 years, 130,000 people have answered: "I prefer for the message to be simple, clear, direct, precise and concise, as long as it is said with respect, courtesy and kindness".
This answer is universal. We can therefore presume that all our counterparts expect to be spoken to in this way, regardless of their culture, personality or mood of the day.
How do we actually speak to each other?
In too many meetings and conversations, things are either said harshly and abruptly or are simply left un-said, implied and suggested. Often, this is the the unintentional result of our struggles in reconciling "straight to the point" with "polite", "clear" with "respectful".
