SHOWNOTES

Saying phrases like ‘I know’ and ‘I know that’ firstly comes off arrogant and abrasive, but secondly, be detrimental to your success.

Where you are perceived as being arrogant and abrasive others don’t want to work or collaborate with you, which can impact your bottom line. Your success.

To better understand a different perspective, don’t just listen—seek to understand. Pose questions that ask people to explain themselves further.

Acknowledge When You Are Wrong: Admitting that you are wrong when needed, and working to learn from it, is key to cultivating an open mind.

There is a huge difference between knowing something and doing or living it.

How do we know if we are doing? Your success in that area will show it. Your bank account, your health results, your fitness, your relationships.

4 ways you can reprogram your mindset and phrases

1. Replace “I know that” with “I understand,” “I’m aware,” or similar phrases.

2. Adopt active listening strategies. Ask a lot of well-thought-out questions after someone shares an opinion or idea.

3. Seek to understand before offering your own opinion. Ask clarifying questions so you can accurately confirm what you know.

4. Reframe what you know into an open-ended question to further explore the discussion.
