How to make instant connection isn’t complicated. It comes down to one sentence, and almost nobody says it.
Last week, a client introduced Sandy Gerber at a webinar as her “bestie,” not her coach, telling a room of a hundred people that Sandy is the person she hears from every week teaching her one new way to have a better conversation. Sandy was speechless, which, as she’ll tell you, almost never happens.
In this episode of the Magnetic Communication Podcast, Sandy breaks down Impact Out Loud, a tool from her Speak Brave program built specifically for this gap: naming the impact someone had on you, specifically and out loud, instead of filing it away or saying something vague like “thanks, that meant a lot.”
Sandy shows exactly what the tool sounds like using two real messages she sent that same week, and offers a handful of openers to choose from instead of one fill-in-the-blank formula, so it sounds like the listener talking, not a script. She also shares what happened when she told her husband the story over dinner, and why saying how you feel out loud tends to be contagious.
This episode also touches on a testimonial from another attendee at the same webinar, who said being told her emotions are a superpower made her whole day, proof that one honest sentence can cost nothing and change someone’s day completely.
If you’ve ever felt the impact someone had on you and never said it to their face, this episode hands you the exact language to change that, starting with one person, this week.
