The Magic Phrase That Transforms Relationships {Reflections}

Central Lutheran Church - Elk River

What if a simple phrase could completely change the way you handle conflicts? Today, I’m flying solo from my office to share a groundbreaking communication technique that has transformed my relationships and could do the same for you. This isn’t just theory; it’s a practical, easy-to-remember tool that you can start using today. The magic words? "When you [action], I felt [emotion]. Next time, could you please [request]." Whether you're dealing with colleagues, family, or friends, this phrase helps you express your feelings clearly and request changes without escalating tensions.
Drawing from my personal experience, I reveal how my wife Katie and I have used this method to navigate our own conflicts and teach our kids to manage their disputes. Imagine your children resolving their bickering in a calm and constructive manner—yes, it’s possible! Tune in to hear the full story and learn how to integrate this powerful phrase into your daily interactions. Trust me, once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever communicated without it.
