32 Magic Words Phrase Cards

The 32 Magic Words phrases are categorized and color coded:
Possibly the hardest part of any conversation is getting it started in the right way, so that you can have the real conversation you hope to have.
Developing word sequences that reduce friction and allow you to dance yourself into more critical conversations without the option of being immediately shut down creates confidence and increased competence in conversation.
Sometimes all you are aiming to do in a conversation is invite the other person to see things from a slightly different point of view.
These Magic Words empower you to shift their vantage point and add more curiosity to your talk track, letting them see things from an alternative reality and put you back in control of the conversation.
Being assumptive in a conversation, when combined with integrity, is the spoken equivalent of leading a dance, conducting an orchestra or being the coxswain on a boat.
It narrows the quantity of possible decisions and focusses the attention where the effort needs to be applied. Framing a statement, ask or invitation in an assumptive way almost always accelerates the speed of decision.
When conversations are not going your way, the easiest option is to give up, walk away and accept that on this occasion you will not reach your desired outcome. That is, unless you have a handful of Magic Words that allow you to remain purposeful in the conversation, step back to a position of curiosity and explore what new possibilities you can create.
Rarely is it possible for the success of a conversation to be measured as win or a loss. The outcome is never black or white, more often, conversational success is a shade of gray, with the truth being that you always achieve something and you almost always could have achieved more. These final examples may just make the difference to help you achieve a little bit extra, a little more often, with a few more people.
