How Do I Communicate Without Being a Jerk?

I had a meeting with a person this week that was not the nicest in the world. He treated me like I was stupid and used the words "obviously" and "right" In. Every. Sentence.

Obviously, I was not happy with the way he spoke to me. In fact, I found it rude and condescending. But I decided to use that anger to my advantage.
I listened carefully to everything he said and took notes. Then, after our meeting, I went back to my office and started writing.

I wrote this response, dripping with sarcasm and wit. By the time I finished, I had created a masterpiece. My response was polite yet sharp, insightful yet playful. It was the perfect comeback for someone who treated me like a fool.

It's easy to be misunderstood when you're not speaking the other person's language, and worse when you are choosing the wrong words. It's easy to come off as a jerk when your words are inconsiderate.

You want to be more effective in your communication and avoid coming off as a jerk.

Imagine having the ability to communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime without worrying about how you come across. It's easy when you know what words to use and what words not to use. This is where choosing the right word matters most!

Choosing your words wisely helps people become better communicators by teaching them how to choose their words wisely so that they can be understood every time!

There are ways to overcome communication issues. Learning how to choose the correct words can help with:
- How to be a better communicator
- Tips for avoiding common communication mistakes
- How to get your point across without being a jerk

Use the right words, and you'll never have to worry about how you're coming across again. Unlearning bad habits from popular corporate speak can help turn your communication style into one that is considerate, helpful, and always puts the other person first.

In order to create a more considerate communication style, we first need to unlearn some of the bad habits that have been picked up from popular corporate speak. Once these harmful phrases and words are eliminated from our vocabulary, we can begin using language that is helpful and always puts the other person first.

Sometimes we just need a little help in our communication skills and that's why I'm here. My goal is to teach you how not only to recognize when someone might misunderstand us but also the best way of communicating with them without actually hurting their feelings or making it seem like they didn't say anything important at all!
