The most POWERFUL conversation technique

This is the power of saying YES AND. Most people say YES BUT in a conversation which doesn't build on their response, it actually negates it.
If you want to keep a conversation going in a positive direction, use YES AND more!

Yep. One of the most basic exercises in improv, been around for decades. But we do it for entertainment - here they're doing it to succeed in conversations.

[@betacarotinoid]

I remembered Conan

[@clementinepover]

fun fact; ‘yes and’ is also an improvisation rule/technique used to make sure actors agree and accept information. This is used because if someone, for example, in an improv scene, said “omg look there’s a fire over there!” and their scene partner says “no there isn’t” then it shuts the scene down. So, in that example, you could say “Yes, and the fire is blue” or something like that lol

[@Khayul]

Yeah I don't get why he's acting like this is some "revelation for conversations". It's just to not stop the flow of an improv act.

[@beckarose7424]

​@Khayul That's like saying you don't get how a single thing can have multiple uses. Because it's both.. did you not watch the video? It can make a major difference in the way you come off to people in regular life if it's not already something you say. Just because it's also used for improv doesn't mean his point is invalid.

[@Khayul]

@@beckarose7424 I understand that things can have multiple uses. The phrasing and overselling is what I find jarring. That's like listing all the ways you can use a butter knife. Yes, you CAN use it as leverage, you CAN extend your reach, but at the end of the day, it's a knife for spreading butter. Not to mention that this isn't some super secret manipulation technique. This is just adding a word to a conversation, which doesn't always make sense in context. I know people who constantly do this to "not create tension", but then they contradict the person they responded to. TL;DR: It's something to think about, not make a rule or fuss about.

[@nicolasniikhav0d-562]

​@@Khayuli mean i didnt know abot that and probably tons of ppl. Yes, you k ow it becouse somehow ypu know this a ressource use in improv, but for an engenier its not that obvious.

[@Khayul]

@@nicolasniikhav0d-562 One's profession has nothing to do with this. I don't hate that he's telling people that this exists, I hate that he's selling this as a "make yourself better in conversations" strategy, and not even citing what it's originally used for. I bet most of the people praising this haven't used it, or if they have, it hasn't made a lick of difference. "Use these words" is a common trick to make people think that they're getting good advice, because it's straight to the point, and very understandable. Fact through is that human communication isn't only words. It's body language, subtle facial tweaks and inflections. "Say X to be more charismatic" is such a tired old hoax line. Rather typical of "pep talk scammers". It's setting up people for failure. And I honestly don't understand why people just accept things they hear once as the truth or as factual.

[@smurphul23]

'Yes and' is a common dialectical therapy technique. It acknowledges that two opposing ideas or feelings can exist at once. Instead of thinking "i hate this but i need to be here" think "i hate this and i need to be here." It acknowledges the feeling of wanting to leave and choice to stay as both valid even though they are opposed.

[@EritreanChic]

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[@ryanhaynes5127]

Interesting, thank ya

[@chrisrock219]

Its a common rule of improv as well

[@changmofan6463]

Yes and this is interesting

[@brillsmith2207]

"Yes and" is a widely recognized and utilized technique in dialectical therapy. It serves as a powerful tool to acknowledge and navigate the coexistence of two seemingly opposing ideas or emotions. Rather than adopting a mindset of "I hate this but I need to be here," the "yes and" approach encourages individuals to embrace the notion of "I hate this and I need to be here." This technique aims to validate the presence of conflicting thoughts or feelings within oneself. It recognizes the genuine desire to escape a situation while simultaneously recognizing the deliberate decision to remain in it. By accepting the validity of both perspectives, individuals can explore their complex emotions more openly and find greater self-understanding. Through the application of "yes and," individuals can develop a more comprehensive understanding of their inner conflicts. It allows for a more nuanced exploration of the reasons behind their desire to leave, while also acknowledging the factors that motivate them to stay. By recognizing and honoring these opposing forces, individuals can gain a deeper insight into their own values, priorities, and personal growth. Furthermore, the "yes and" technique empowers individuals to embrace paradoxical thinking. It encourages them to view conflicting ideas not as mutually exclusive, but as coexisting elements that contribute to their overall experience. This perspective promotes self-acceptance and reduces the internal tension that arises from the struggle between opposing thoughts and emotions. In summary, "yes and" serves as a valuable dialectical therapy technique that embraces the simultaneous existence of opposing ideas or emotions. By adopting this approach, individuals can validate their complex feelings and thoughts, facilitating a deeper understanding of themselves and promoting personal growth and acceptance.

This is a very good one. ❤

[@honor_ed5875]

It's very important for me as I always say : "No. But." 😢😂

[@nezzee]

So does my wife... 😢😂

[@sophis9453]

You're just teaching improv and drama lessons half the time I love it

[@imCurveee]

"I don't want to have sex with you" "Yes and I don't care" 😊 it's so simple!

[@bullymaguire3077]

My whole family just died Yes and I'd love to know how

[@BenGali0]

"you just ran me over..." "Yes and that allows you to visit the hospital for that long overdue checkup" Yes and that does work

[@PiyushSharma-vu8ge]

Yes, and I do not have insurance.

[@connerpittman]

This is the building blocks to improvisational acting and comedy

[@BGChicks]

It’s from the book “how to win friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie if anyone wonders.

[@doogleticker5183]

Yes, and...people always think they are the first to come up with an idea. Gen Z.

[@stephencindrich6787]

Want a new idea, read an old book.

[@sweetiebearie]

yes, and? ❤️ say it with your chest!

[@SyeberDash]

This guy is giving, i just learned this today in college vibes.

[@akkii04]

This one is so powerful😮

[@CalmClamFam]

That makes sense since that’s what people do in improv

[@markwildt5728]

That makes literally no sense. First of all, that's NOT what they do in improve. Secondly, what they actually do is for an entirely different reason. It's basically you can't say no. You have to go along with whatever scenario the previous person set up. This guy is simply talking about putting a positive spin on how you phrase things. They're not even remotely related in any way.

[@CalmClamFam]

@@markwildt5728​​⁠But it still makes it positive and it’s still expanding off of what the other person is saying. Just because it’s a rule to not say “no” in improv doesn’t mean it doesn’t add that same reaffirming vibe as it would in a normal conversation. Improv may be chaotic because of this method, but if done right, improv can sound like a real conversation. That positive spin is still felt in improv and in a real scenario

[@Khayul]

@@CalmClamFam Which makes no sense when you're not agreeing. If people "Yes and you're wrong" me, then I know they're slow in the head, and can't disagree properly. You absolutely CAN say no in improv. the technique is not actually saying it, but accepting what is happening to not stop the act. Your improv character can definitely disagree. This is just some "bro-science" bullshittery.

[@khalid5225]

Vinh, love from Mogadishu, Somalia ❤🇸🇴 you are the best mentor, teacher guider you name it Thank you for the knowledge

[@GrangerLaird]

Wow! I'm definitely going to start doing this. Thank you

[@stormyskye2681]

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." "Yes and I'd appreciate it if you stopped saying that."

[@papiduma3451]

I just used it now while watching this clip... It works!!!

[@Mrx_Sahil]

Damn i never thought about in this way

[@user-dy1rf1cw1e]

Yea and now you do ;)

[@benitapatel5635]

Woaah! Again Vinh...you blew our minds!

[@Archemik99]

We actually used "Yes and" as an exercise back when I did improv comedy. It was fun, many great and fun things you can do with those 2 simple words.

[@Sueghandis]

“Can we do it?” “Yes and please don’t”

[@nobody-ep1bu]

Damn, big difference

[@desmondnana-bentum9589]

Crazy how I find valuable stuff like this only randomly
