The power of "yes"

Fellow speaker,

To see how powerful the word "yes" is, try out this exercise with a friend:

1. Answer "No, because..." (make up your own reasons) to everything the other person says
2. Answer "Yes, but..." to everything the other person says
3. Answer "Yes, and..." to everything the other person says

Notice the difference in how you and your friend feel between the first "No" response to the next "Yes, but" response to the last "Yes, and" response.

Noticing,

Tim
