Verbal Judo Part 2: Plural Pronouns

okay folks this is the "official" last episode of the verbal judo series. However, as i was recording these episodes i realized that there were three other smaller techniques that i wanted to cover but they didn't warrant episodes on their own. And i don't like doing an even numbered series so no episode 8! However, if you want this off the books episode, if you join my mailing list at Developing Leaders I will send it to you. All you need do is send me an email at ronh@developingleadersinc.com with off the books VJ episode in the subject line. I will take care of the rest!I invite you to join my mailing list at Developing Leaders Inc, where you will not only receive a free copy of my ebook on delegation but you will also get a free leadership course.

Continuing our series on verbal judo, today we discuss the idea of abstracting up. Language is funny. There is concrete tangible language (words like dog, sidewalk, tree, table) and then there are these words that are abstract more idea or category based (canine, walking routes, forest, furniture). Where you can picture the first category of words in your mind easily, the second not so much or at least less so. Knowing the difference here is incredibly helpful when you face a problem in a conversation where you reach an impasse or roadblock. Often it feels impossible to solve the problem, navigate the conversation. However, if we learn to move up a level of abstraction, we gain the ability to engage with a wider conversational field. This wider field is still talking about the very same topic, it just offers us the ability to find new ways to navigate the conversation.
