Wondering how to defend yourself at work?How'd you like to Stop Being Defensive and Get the Respect You Deserve: 3-Step E-V-A Strategy for Handling Criticism Instead of sounding defensive when attacked or criticized, try this 3-step E-V-A approach.

#communicationskillstraining #communicationtraining #attacked

First, express your feelings to show that you're engaged in the situation.

Second, validate the attacker's point of view to better explain your own viewpoint.

Lastly, ask questions to gather more information and buy time to respond in a way that reflects who you are and what you want.

Don't let attackers or critics dictate how you respond. Take charge and move forward with superior communication skills by enrolling in our communication skills course or training. In these online courses, you'll learn specific examples and phrases to help embrace this approach and make it your own.

Remember there's a big difference in the reaction you get when you explain rather than defend yourself. Do not sound defensive, but use every criticism as an opportunity to demonstrate your character. Remember, you are in charge of who you are and how you communicate, so use this power wisely.

To everyone who feels defensive during challenging conversations, crafting a strategic explanation that comes from advanced communication skills training courses is a better option than defending yourself.

Instead of letting external forces like criticism force you to react in a certain way, in my course, Step out of the Shadows and Speak, you'll learn to take control of your communication style by identifying your values, beliefs and goals, and making every interaction in your life more purposeful.

So join us today and transform every opportunity into one that serves you.
