Ask- What would I want?

The speaker proposes a powerful communication tool: “If I were them, what would I want me to do?”
By shifting perspective and considering the other person’s needs, wants, and desires, we can significantly improve our communication and relationships.
The speaker illustrates this with an example: instead of simply demanding information from a coworker, asking “If I were them, what would I want me to do?” might lead to offering assistance, such as helping them gather the data or acknowledging their contributions to their boss.
This simple question encourages empathy and understanding, fostering stronger connections and more effective interactions. By consistently applying this perspective, individuals can transform their communication and build more meaningful relationships.
