Kiley’s an entrepreneur and she runs a sales consulting business. She gets slammed with requests for her time to “meet up for coffee”, “catch up with each other” or “I just wanna chat and pick your brain”. These requests can from anyone, peers, colleagues, friends, co-workers, the random LinkedIn connection, someone she met at a networking event, etc. The problems come, when she turns up at these meetings and she finds out that a.) the other person just w...2023-03-3012 min

You can listen to the episode here. Don’t want to listen and just want to know the gist of it? Sometimes we don’t take credit for our work because we’re afraid of being view as arrogant. To combat, remember that arrogant people don’t worry about whether they’re arrogant and they don’t mind winning at the cost of other people. That’s likely not you. Sometimes we don’t share our...2023-02-0911 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryHow to Handle a ComplainerToday we’re talking about how to handle a complainer. There's nothing quite like the energy suck that comes from someone who constantly complains. It's awful to be around a complainer. They're unhappy with their work, colleagues, boss, friends, fitness, kids, partner, family, or life. And they want you to know about it. You're a good person; you've listened and tried to help them out. You've given suggestions, sent positive quotes, and pointed out the good. But they're still unhappy. Maybe they've gotten mad at you because you didn't "fix" things for them.2023-01-2606 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryListenWhen someone comes to you with a problem, do you listen with the intent to help, or do you want to fix it? There's a difference. You are not a vending machine for answers, no matter how good that might feel to you. I want you to flip the situation and think about being the person who needs to be heard. Have you ever needed someone to listen and not fix? I have a colleague I enjoy talking with as long as we aren't discussing a problem I'm having....2023-01-1206 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryWords Shape SuccessYour words shape your success, the ones you say aloud and those you don't. How do I know? Confirmation bias. Defined as "the tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one's existing beliefs." Britannica. In my words, what we think about, we bring about. My friend, how many times have you heard someone say... "This is never going to work." and then it doesn't? "Who's going to care anyway?" and no one does. "Why bother?" and no one bothers. 2022-12-2205 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryHow to Take a ComplimentHave you ever wondered how you're "supposed" to respond to a compliment? Do you have to give one back? What if you don't know what to say? It's OK to wonder, and I'm here to help. Saying thank you is always OK when it comes to compliments. Acknowledging a compliment is polite and shows that you appreciate the gesture. If you feel like saying thank you is boring or repetitive, try these phrases for a change;-I appreciate that. -That means a lot coming from you. -You made my day...2022-12-0806 min

I’m guessing you're a bit like me, I think. You're interested in personal development, on a perpetual quest to be better, and love to learn. Am I right? You might also be like me in that you've run up against a lot of challenges in your life. Life hasn't always gone your way. You haven't gotten everything you've wanted, or maybe, you've been tested beyond what you thought you could handle. You've had to be resilient, even when yo...2022-11-2405 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryTurn Average Into ExcellentGood to great doesn't happen overnight, with a silver bullet, or in one magical manifested moment. Dang it. Wish I had a magic wand for that one! Average only becomes excellent with consistency. You know this, my friend, even if it's hard to hear. If we commit to saving a few dollars daily, those dollars will grow exponentially. If we work out and count calories routinely, we'll lose the 15 lbs we gained during COVID. We know we'll improve our golf game or piano playing if we practice regularly. So, why is being consistent so darn hard...2022-11-1006 min

Man, oh man, does this lie keep us from some important conversations. Before we dive into why we tell ourselves (or others) this lie let's make sure it’s really a lie before we start huh? When you find yourself thinking, “It’s better not to say anything.” it’s a good idea to ask yourself, is this true? I love the question “Is it or is this true?” because it forces you to stop and think. When you’re weighing options on whether to speak up, it’s important to think through the c...2022-10-1307 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryThe Lies We Tell Our Selves: I Do All the Work and They Get All the CreditThe lie that gets uttered across workplaces across the world "I do all the work, and they get all the credit." It seems like a simple, clear-cut statement on the surface; someone else is getting credit for my work and I’m mad about it. But is it true? Are you really doing all the work and getting none of the credit? What are you really saying when you say “I do all the work and they get all the credit.” In some cases, it some cases, it’s true. Your work was stolen. Your idea was ta...2022-09-2906 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryHow to Ask for What You WantAsking is awkward. We stumble around our words or avoid asking because sometimes it seems easier to do without. There are times when I say to myself... "I don't really need help; I can handle this on my own." Then I work twice as hard while being mad about doing it all myself. Or when I want to have a conversation with someone I perceive as having more power than me, I don't ask because I think, "I'll be bothering them." I miss the opportunity to connect and learn. Or sometimes it's as simple as wanting my hub...2022-09-0107 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryThe Lies We Tell Ourselves - It's Easier if I Do it MyselfI thought it was time to do a little series, and I'm excited to talk with you about the lies we tell at work because we lie, ya know? Now there are all kinds of lies that we tell, but I think some of the most tragic lies we tell are the ones we tell ourselves. It's often these lies that keep us from communicating effectively with each other. They keep us from having conversations that would make our work (and lives) easier in the long run. The first line I'm tackling is; "It's easier...2022-08-1811 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryShould I Use Notes?Today we’re talking about whether you should use notes when you present. The struggle is real. If you’ve presented, you’ve probably wondered how is it OK to use notes? Am I going to look like a dork if I use notes? Will people think I don’t know what I’m talking about if I use notes? Or have you ever tried to use notes only to find yourself lost in the jumble of your own incoherent writing? Maybe you’ve watched someone else use notes and thought they did a terrible job.

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryHow to be DirectIf you want to be direct, lead with what you need. (how's that for direct?) It sounds simple, yet it can be a struggle for many. It's difficult to lead with what we need because it feels risky. It seems easier or safer to explain ourselves first before we get to our point. See if you can relate to any of these examples: -asking for an increase in budget -pitching a complex project/idea -asking for a raise -requesting more time on a project Now, please don't read me w...2022-07-2104 min

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryOne Reason You're MisunderstoodToday we’re talking about one reason you’re misunderstood. This one is going to smack you in the head like “duh”. One reason you’re misunderstood is because you’re using words that people don’t understand. Here’s a fun statistic: A new word is created every 98 minutes. That means there are approximately 15 new words created per day, 105 words per week, and 38,325 words per year! HOLY MOLY!

Your boss makes decisions that impact your pay, job responsibilities, and promotions. Your boss is human, too. They're bound to make mistakes and operate in imperfection.

Will you never find the right candidate for the job? I'm guessing you'll say no and something like... "I didn't mean it that way, Alex; it's just a figure of speech."

Kiley coaches sales professionals and wanted to know what filler words are, why we use them, and what we can do about them. I love this question and have researched-backed answers to help you (and Kiley) out. What are they? Filler words are meaningless words, sounds, or phrases that mark a pause or hesitation in speech. Examples include: "uh, um, like, so, er, OK, right and ya know." Why do they happen? Researchers have narrowed...2022-04-2809 min

Some folks feel or get pressure to "be funny." They think, "If I'm funny, my audience will like me more," which isn't necessarily true. If you're not comfortable being funny, your attempts at humor can come off as being awkward and uncomfortable, and your audience will feel that. If you're uncomfortable, your audience will be too.

Crash Courses in Communication with Alex PerryHow to Handle a Difficult ConversationThe more you ignore problems, the bigger they get. It’s not easier… Its avoidance. If this is you…you're not alone. "A 2017 survey of 1,344 full-time employees sponsored by Quantum Workplace and Fierce Conversations found that 53 percent of employees are handling “toxic” situations by ignoring them." There's a better way. Instead of avoiding, mentally rehearsing for weeks on end, or having sidebar conversations (aka vent sessions with your homies), try this instead; 1.) schedule the convo (keep it short) 2.) prepare (three bullet points, no b.s.) 3.) meet (things won't get better if you don't) 4...2022-03-0310 min
