Hey friends, welcome back to Magnetic Communication. I’m Sandy Gerber, and today’s episode is one I know you’re going to feel — literally. We are talking about Emotional Self-Control. Let me ask you something: Have you ever walked out of a conversation thinking, “Why did I just say that?” Or made a decision in the heat of the moment — that your cooler, wiser self regretted three hours later? That’s the difference between emotion-based behaviour and value-based behaviour. And once you spot the gap between the two, you start communicating like a leader, not just reacting like a human. This episode breaks down how to stop letting your emotions run the show — and use your Emotional Self-Control (EQ) to build trust and connection instead. Let’s get into it.

Hey friends, welcome back to the Magnetic Communication podcast. I’m Sandy Gerber — and today, we’re talking about word activators - a few tiny words that can totally change how people respond to you. These are simple word swaps that activate clarity, trust, and collaboration in conversations. And when you use them, people not only understand you better — they like you better. Let me explain. You ever hear someone say something nice to you and then follow it with a “but”? Like, “I love your idea… but I think we should go in a different direction.” Ouch. It’s like a compliment karate-chopped in the face. That’s the thing about “but.” It negates everything that comes before it. It’s the ultimate verbal eraser. So today, we’re diving into four of my favourite Word Activators — small changes you can make instantly that will shift your tone from defensive to collaborative, unclear to magnetic. Let’s go.
