Two words, says Andrew can change your life. They are "Yes and" and their shadow side "Yes but."
Others are fans of "yes and" since they too realise their power to communicate and persuade. They're like a grenade thrown into any communication.
Andrew takes you on a closer look at using these words at work and how best to use them to your advantage.
He points out that these words are not magical, just incredibly useful as they can transform how a group works together.
"Yes but" too can prove impactful sometimes for good as when it makes people look more carefully at the possible effect of a decision. However it can also cause harm and is like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hide, with a secret monster waiting to emerge.
Finally Andrew offers his usual three practical actions points you can take today, including adopting the personal discipline of never following on from someone talking with a "yes but."
All 50 Ways podcasts end with three actions you can take today to do better.
