TY HOESGEN
In this episode, Wes talks with Ty HOESGEN, a communication coach and author. He talks about the lost art of communication, how he got into the field, and how people can become more effective communicators through voice and body language. He and Wes discuss how people today avoid face-to face communication and bury themselves in their phones only communicating through text messages and emails.
Ty grew up on a farm in Canada with a small population. Once he graduated from University, he started selling life insurance. He was shy growing up, and now he's talking to complete strangers about disease, accidents, and traumas. This gave him anxiety and trouble sleeping as he was not doing well at his job. He knew he had to do something.
He read, took classes, googled, and practiced. Ty points out that when people put time and effort into something, results will happen. When he was seeking help with communication, there weren't life coaches.
As a coach, the first step is a phone call with the client. Together they establish goals, find out the challenges the client has. Why does the client want to become a better communicator? What's the struggle? How do they make the fastest progression?
When speaking, the idea is to use frameworks and structure. Effort and intention will help become a better communicator. There isn't a need for extra time. Practice can happen at work with small talk with coworkers. When time is spent with a significant other, loved one, friends, or family people can practice at that time as well.
When COVID hit, face-to-face communication fell drastically. Virtual communication took off and is still prevalent today. Ty offers tips for effectively communicating virtually. He shows how to look at the camera on the computer or other device, so it looks like people are looking right at the other person in the eyes. Ty offers both virtual and in person coaching. He adapts to whatever his clients need.
Ty offers an acronym for effective communication: PREP. P is stating the main point in one sentence. R is why the point is true. E is for evidence to support the point. P is for restating the point. This is a tool people can use right away.
