On today's episode, it is all about what to say when someone belittles you, when they try to say something to put you down, to hurt you.

What do you say and how do you make sure that your own integrity stays intact?

Welcome to the Jefferson Fisher podcast where I'm on a mission to make your next conversation

the one that changes everything.

If you enjoy learning tools to improve your communication, I'm going to ask you to follow this podcast and if you would please leave a review.

One exciting thing that I want to make sure that I mention is today is a very special day because it is the first

day that my new book, my first book called The Next Conversation, is out for pre-sale.

You can find it wherever you want to buy books. It's also going to be an audiobook, but it is a book that no matter who you're talking to, whether it's a difficult conversation, just a heated discussion, or if you're just having a hard time

communicating and you're not sure the basic foundations of what you need to be

doing you're going to find all that and more in this book I really poured my heart into it to make sure

that I'm giving you practical strategies right out of the gate and experience from

my own life that I know will help you. If you want to pre-order it I'm going to make

sure that the links are in the

show notes there and you can also go to the next conversation.com the next conversation

dot com and you can order it there. When somebody is belittling you, the first thing that I want you to do is,

number one, make them say it again. That's right, I want you to make them say it again. That means you're going to tell them, I need you to say that again. I need

you to repeat that. When you make them say it again, they don't get that hit a dopamine that

they're looking for. When somebody is belittling you, to put you down,

they're looking for that spike

to get them going, to have that feeling of control.

We're not going to give them that.

So we're gonna talk about those strategies.
