Communicating Effectively and Kindly with Competitors

What do you think?
Do words really carry so much weight?
Is the way we speak to people really that important?
Do we need to be so mindful of the language we use?
How we say things, does that even matter?

Well of course it does!!! We are all human! And we developed language for a reason! To express ourselves!

Sometimes when someone is thinking these things themselves they don’t need someone else to come in and say it to them or remind them of it

It can worsen, create, or perpetuate an already unstable or unhealthy thinkers mind especially if they are working to mend that💜🧠
.
I really believe it is important to speak with intention, consideration, and love
What you say can be a reflection of what you believe so think before you speak and consider how someone else might feel

Of course, I’m definitely not perfect at this but I have come to understand better ways to communicate with people

Especially since I became more conscious of how others were speaking to me
Being aware of their situation, not making assumptions, and just genuinely caring about them goes a long way

In elementary school they used to repeat “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”
.
Which I think has always stuck with me!

Of course, we don’t always know how to talk to someone or we don’t think what we are saying is bad at all

Which is just a learning opportunity for you and a boundary setting opportunity for them

Which means both parties have to communicate with each other
I’m sure some competitors read this infographic and thought, “none of that has bothered me before??”
.
But I’m also sure there were many more competitors who thought, “OH MY GOSH THANK YOU YES SERIOUSLY”
.
So for them, I made this 🙂
.
If you’re a competitor who has dealt with this, speak up, share your thoughts with others, and be very clear with what you need
And that’s another thing IT IS OK TO ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED (I’ll save this for another day lol)
.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
​
Do you find these statement replacements more helpful and kind?
Would you prefer to hear what’s on the right side than the left?⬇️💓🙂
