Today we delve into the crucial topic of effective communication and influence in important conversations. I share one of the greatest communication tools I've ever learned—time, place, and space. This insightful concept has significantly impacted my personal and professional relationships and has made a noticeable difference in my enrollment and influencing skills.

Diana Bonici, a brilliant angel on Earth, mentor, and relationship coach, taught me the power of time, place, and space in improving communication in my marriage. Even as a coach and communication expert, I've recognized the value of seeking external guidance to enhance my subjective conversations. As I reflect on the upcoming release of the Rising Leader handbook, I emphasize the significance of time, place, and space in various settings, including personal and business relationships.

The concept of time, place, and space is a game-changer when navigating difficult conversations and aiming to influence change. It involves assessing the right timing, suitable location, and the mental readiness of all involved parties before engaging in critical discussions. It's essential to evaluate whether you are in the right mental space to communicate effectively and whether the other party is receptive to the conversation. This approach has transformed how I approach influencing and enrollment, personally and professionally.

"Time, place, space, if you take the time, whether it's in your personal relationships, your business relationships, it's just a game changer in how your influencing skills and your enrollment skills will land."
