Dr. Mike Bechtle wants to help people communicate better, especially in our social media world where everybody is talking all at once and nobody is listening. On Day 2, Mike describes the power of our words – how casual words often have more impact than we realize. He also describes the power of silence in a conversation – giving us time and space to collect our thoughts and communicate more intentionally. He explains why “outcomebased” conversations are much more effective – what is our goal before we start a conversation? He points to how Jesus modeled good communication in asking good questions; again, asking questions gives us time to think rather than feeling the pressure to propel a conversation. Mike concludes with some thoughts about how humility can improve communication, and shares a story about learning from our elders about better ways to communicate.
