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. Mike explains we need “more weight” or value to our communication in order to be heard, and he talks about how we can use emotion in positive ways to energize our conversations. But our attitude is important – instead of reacting to what others say, we need to more proactive and intentional in our communication. Mike shares the definition of “confront” – to face or deal with a problem or difficult situation. The goal is to grow and strengthen our relationships, not attack or argue. Mike also discusses temperaments – how introverts and extroverts communicate differently, and why it’s a bad idea to try to “fix” the other person.
