#1 Lawyer: Conversation Techniques to Avoid Looking Weak, Insecure & Boring | Jefferson Fisher

[@Ruby-if4jf]

I love you Jefferson Fisher- you're brilliant and your advice WORKS. Thank you.

[@astrocat88]

Love all that Jefferson shares. I have learned so much listening to him.

[@ThePinkLotusdesign]

As a listener, it totally threw me how the interview partners changed without pause or introduction. I had to go back turn on the video to understand what’s happening . Great content. Thank you!

[@JeniElbedour]

I appreciate the cadence of your voice. Living out east, people's natural intensity starts higher and intensifies conflicts.

[@ShaunaFacciponti]

One of the best videos I’ve ever watched on the platform! Thank you!

[@truebluebeth6446]

Winning an argument ….You’ve won contempt Great points

[@judylarosee5326]

Thank you for all these come backs. I have saved and have written them down. That’s ment to be grateful 😊

[@shellystuck6401]

I appreciate your wisdom Jefferson!!!

I am married to a very good liar. The baseline method is spot on. It took me years, YEARS, to figure out ...and yes this is pitiful, I am aware....but when he is really engaged in what I have to say, he is really nice, he is flirtatious again, he makes plans with me...it always turned out he had yet another new girl he had met and he was going to dissappear. It was so freaking cruel because I was so starved for that niceness, and attention, and being seen, and valued so I was always walking on air, thinking things were good again, and then it would slowly sink in that I just got played again. We have been separated for years now, and to this day, if he is polite or nice to me my hackles are up instantly. I associate his being loving as him scamming me, because nice is NOT his baseline

[@Niabhankar]

When people like this happen and we become guarded- the hardest part is not making that guarded self as our baseline. I hope 🤞🏽 and pray you don’t have a wound to heal from it. Sending love and peace your way ❤

[@leeboriack8054]

Study emotional intelligence, communication/ negotiation and develop a healthy group of supportive friends.

[@manjitpannu5408]

I’m so sorry you went through this ❤

[@bobbarth801]

I spent so many years with the same person Mercedes spoke of! Same traits. He’d lie about nothing and everything. Even went and got married without telling me!😊

When you are telling the truth, you don't need to remember. In other words, when you're honest, the details stay clear and consistent because there's no need to keep track of fabrications. These Conversation Techniques are skills, they can be developed at any time. It takes practice and intention to perfect them. The more you focus on improving them, the more natural and effective they become. @Doug, thank you for hosting Andrew & Jefferson.

[@gaberoyalll]

Picture the words photographically, I really love that a lot. Thank you

[@KG19944]

I learned a lot with this handsome man😊

[@desertdog8006]

Incredibly useful. Thanks

[@evelynramos445]

Very good speaker on intuition

[@SheenaBerry-g5c]

When I mastered this, I felt so proud of myself. My ex was yelling at me and I simply paused and hung up. I had nothing left to offer him but the grace of not trying to hurt him with words or actions, but just moving on as if he's no longer a factor worth my effort of energy. I'm not even upset because he grew up in a toxic environment.

[@zah936]

👏

[@DMkz111]

This for me personally was Enlightening and very much needed , AMAZING SHOW 🙌

[@narjess6040]

Great advice! Going to use on negative people in my family

[@katherinegordon8088]

Thank you for teaching how to compartmentalize;)

[@samgravell3180]

Do grown adults really end up in so much drama and conflict? My god, I can’t remember the last time I had an argument.

[@utubefreshie]

Same. Isn't that sad? I think because he's a litigation lawyer, he encounters it a lot. I've worked so hard in my life to get to a point where I'm not surrounded by conflict. I'm guessing you're the same. One of the things he said that resonated with me is: Love yourself enough that it doesn't matter what other people say about you if they try to gaslight you. You know who you are and your worth.

[@SynnJynn]

I dont invite drama in my life but my work environment does. I would like to learn how to handle it better.😅

[@utubefreshie]

@@SynnJynn Gawd. I hate that so much! When you end up in a workplace where you feel like you're the only sane person there, OR you're all victimized by a crazy bully boss. Try to just do the work when you're there and avoid the crossfire, so to speak, then leave work problems at work and not take it home. You learn to grow a thicker skin. Oftentimes, you're at a loss what to do. What I did was find a work ally I could trust and talk to OR talk to the confidential Employee Assistance Program if they have one at your job. In the most extreme cases, sometimes you just have to leave the job and move somewhere else hopefully better.

[@Deelitee]

Yessss!! Can I follow you around for a week?? You’ve probably developed healthy attachment skills. So, the drama is something that repels you. Me?? It’s been my whole way of life until 7 years ago. Count your blessings!! Seriously. ❤

[@utubefreshie]

@@Deelitee With practice, you will get there and heal and find your peace too eventually! All the best to you!

[@Destinyangel444]

❤😊 thank you for sharing your videos with me 🙏💞💯

[@ahmedlotfy8972]

Really mind opening

[@9thumbsup88]

Do not tell people you will still respect them, stay their friend, still love them, etc. before you have your conversation! People will take that as liberty to say anything they really shouldn't, and now you're committed to your word. For example, I told someone all this before telling them my experience as a single parent of two children while a person with ASD. They lectured me that I should never have had kids if I had ASD, even though I also told them I scored over 1500 on my SATs. They told me that I couldn't even recognize Autism in another person, only a professional expert could. Needless to say, I absolutely lost respect for them and they were toxic enough in their response that I am not their friend anymore.

[@vanessac1965]

Yeah I mean, I can't guarantee I'll respect someone after a difficult conversation. Maybe he means you'll respect them in terms of their opinions and right to have them but doesn't mean you'll still like them. It really depends on the nature of the relationship.

[@katherinegordon8088]

Whoo, ouch, your very kind and Jefferson fisher can help us speak more confidently, I recently told my daughter not to worry about hurting my feelings, fingers crossed.

[@Deelitee]

@@9thumbsup88 yes. Part of the problem is certain people ( tends to be toxic people in my life) take you and your relationship for granted. They see your kindness as weakness and they don’t FEAR losing the relationship. My family will always be my family but doesn’t mean we will have a relationship.

[@everybot-it]

... but wouldn't you want to weed out those kinds of people? Encourage everyone to speak freely!

[@kla6731]

This is gold . Do you have a book please ?

[@AprilDelRosario]

He has a book on pre-order called The Next Conversation coming out soon

[@melodieneil712]

He does. It’s on Amazon.

[@Rainbow_with_slowfeet]

Such good advice!

[@missusmoon3867]

After 37 years I know he has a problem he can't control. But I love him and respond with empathy. And it has helped.

[@phataton7588]

One of the best examples of Business in front Party in the back Hairdos ever

[@adriananeri3288]

After only 10 minutes I'll go away... why? Because you can't gain real respect from someone who's already treating you badly. If you go away without saying a word, you like a sincere and nice person, you'll have all those unspoken words in your head a long long time. And second, why should you want to build a relationship with somebody who's mistreated you? I don't want to educate people. They should be already grown and responsible for their choices . I say what I have to say, and only then go away. It happened to me to heard excuses like" you never told me what bothered you , you just disappeared . Mature people discuss issues"... No, if someone talks to you without respect, here is No respect

[@Deelitee]

@@adriananeri3288 I’ve spend so many years “educating” people!!!! What a joke. The joke was on me. No more.

Thanks so much i learned a lot....

[@annstar2793]

Does Jefferson Fisher have a video on how to deal with friends and family that have strong opposing political views who aren’t willing to not talk about it???? Thank you !!!!! How to get them to stop talking !!!!

[@HeadinVat]

I think that informing them that the dissension is unbearable to you and you'll be leaving the room if it comes up. No disrespect--there are plenty of people to talk to or come to blows with over politics. It's thoughtless to bring up subjects in a mixed setting that one KNOWS cause distress. Who does that? It's rude to the point of being abusive and you simply don't have to show up for it.

[@ShimmerBodyCream]

Thank you for sharing

[@zenamatthews9380]

Could've really used time stamps on this one.

[@Sadiq80k]

Agree

[@gretajane802]

Excellent content!🎉 Subbed.❤

[@kristieheineman3351]

Hi Jefferson, so I'm pretty sure my older sister listens to you as well, as her favorite get out of responsibility phrase is "I don't remember it that way". I have found that phrase to be a great way to shut down conversation and almost given her permission to rewrite history whenever she wants, and she does too. There's nowhere to go after someone says that. Just like the "I don't remember" phrase. Both of those keep people miles away from repair. She gets credit in front of my parents like she's willing to try to fix things, but in the end it avoids responsibility and shuts it down because she "remembers it differently" or "Doesn't remember. So ridiculous! Can you unpackage that in a video without using my name?

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

Brilliant

Here’s the problem in law, when you say nothing it’s considered compliance or non compliance depending on the type of law or case.

[@MetaPhysStore0770]

But in common parlance, its a sign of being hard of hearing, many older people actually dont hear things, its plausable deniability

[@barbaraschultz1442]

@@MetaPhysStore0770 I’m referring to ignoring the behavior and taking the high road to keep please. It can backfire.

[@HalosOpulence]

You lost me when you mentioned lying. There’s no need for dishonesty-lying isn’t the right word for “fake it till you make it.” It’s more about convincing yourself you have the confidence to succeed, not about deceiving others. Lying has no place in that mindset.

[@Callmethebreeze902]

JR Ewing “Oh why tell the truth when a little good ol’ lie will do?” 😂

Agree Halos. I didn't care for that comment that the speaker said either.

[@loriof5894]

What about a situation when your supervisor accused you of putting a daily report requirement all on a Friday and basically says that you didn’t do the work during the day every day. You only did it on Friday because that’s what the Excel spreadsheet is showing that is just the last time you were in that spreadsheet. Being in the document on Friday to include the time that you saw the patient that you forgot to put in the first time… The conversation goes in a circle because he says the time shows Friday the 25th and you’re saying I entered it daily as I was supposed to … So basically, you’re being called a liar that you didn’t do your work as instructed. Being told ( by HR rep in the mtg) to be quiet and listen to us being said because you’re on the defensive … Heck, yeah I’m on the defensive. You’re accusing me of being a liar and not following the instructions at my job … That is an absolute no way will I sit here quietly and tolerate anyone saying that . Supervisor stating you did not do your job right the way you were instructed I’m saying I did my job right I believed I entered them properly. If I did not enter them properly, you can still see that I did enter them every day and obviously that conversation lost control the minute I got upset, but how do I , deal with that?? I don’t believe I get to walk away when I’m I am in a review with a supervisor and HR any help with that type of situation obviously there’s a much deeper story but my supervisor/CEO is a bully he goes off on tangent some people he’ll collect six people in a few days and just trash them and then the next week act like nothing happened and the reason nonsense weren’t really valid and this is what he does…

[@philparisi9175]

I have an issue with the crown situation. I just do it because I feel comfortable and it’s not to send any other messages then it’s just place to put me on, but everyone always likes everyone always has a comment.

[@vanessac1965]

Great stuff but telling people to ignore their gut is very bad advice. Heuristic shortcuts, procrastination and intuition are not the same things.

[@Lebensbaustein]

Deceit used to "motivate" is still deceit and lies. And self growth is not really that much about what others think. You can fake it till you make it in some regards (such as confidence) but a lot of people pick up on that fake self Real quick, so you'd have to be a genius or a professional actor to pull it off without actual self confidence.

[@sister1828]

Any advice for autistic people to not get so much hate? How to appear more empathetic and engaged in what the other person says

[@MetaPhysStore0770]

Mirroring, like repeat back what people say to build understanding

[@WideAwakeHuman]

Just be up front and tell people ur autistic and what that means - I have a really good friend that did that the first time we met and it allowed me to never be offended or anything at her oddities in communication. Just breaks the ice and sets the expectations - and if the other person can’t deal with it then that’s on them

You can’t be this really good unless you know what you’re shadows can do! Unfortunately most psycho are not aware of themselves ending up creating chaos to other people lives! That’s why in Navy they scored highest in psychopathy but was trained and disciplined enough to use it force for good ! You can’t be that good on anything without becoming ruthless beasts first
