I love the one suggestion “I remember it differently” when someone is lying. I used it on my employee that was lying the other day and it made a different impact than when I said, yes I did train you on this before. Thanks Jefferson!

This is so good. Ironically, I've been needing to have a difficult conversation with a family member and have been putting it off because I simply don't know where to begin. I'm going to try this strategy. Btw...I love your content, Jefferson! You talk about real issues that everyone deals with at some point in their life, then you provide real answers/suggestions. Thanks for sharing your wisdom 😊
