Master the Art of Conversation with Jefferson Fisher - Terri Cole

I'm so psyched to welcome lawyer, author, and communication expert Jefferson Fisher to the show to talk about his book, The Next Conversation. Many of you likely know Jefferson from social media, and for good reason- he teaches effective communication in an extremely accessible way. It's why I love his work and invited him on the show. During our conversation, Jefferson shared the many ways his parents influenced his communication skills and style, the lessons he learned from them, as well as why direct communication is attractive, how to keep calm during tricky conversations, and so much more. *Time Stamps* 0:00 - Quote from Jefferson 0:45 - Intro from Terri 3:13 - Jefferson's origin story 5:15 - Effective communication at home 9:15 - The layers of conversation 12:06 - Why Jefferson wrote The Next Conversation 14:35 - Emotional self-control 17:33 - Setting limits 19:35 - Speaking directly 23:44 - Emotional codependency & empaths 26:26 - The argument and the struggle 29:40 - You don't have to like it 34:14 - Jefferson's biggest boundary struggle *If You Enjoyed This, Watch These Videos* https://youtu.be/I7C-i_JEj4Y - How to Identify + Deal With High Conflict Individuals https://youtu.be/xpkjFkhK6tg - Effectively Communication During Conflict Without Making It Worse https://youtu.be/DPIWbdY0Zm8 - Don't Get Sucked Into Conflict: 11 Tips to Handle Difficult People https://youtu.be/q4ilZ6e5Ebk - Effective Communication 101: Tips, Scripts and What To Avoid *About Jefferson Fisher* Jefferson Fisher is a trial lawyer, writer, and speaker whose work to help people communicate during life’s everyday arguments and conversations, with his practical videos and authentic presence, has gained millions of followers around the world, including celebrities and global leaders.
