One Couple’s Story

Background: A man was frustrated by the idea of consulting with his wife regularly. She was equally frustrated at being left out of important decisions. They were working on a major project together, with many more months to go.

When they learned my 3+ step Consultation process, the husband said, “There usually isn’t time for consultation. I just have to make a decision quickly myself and do it.” I acknowledged his concerns and encouraged him to give it a try and see what happens. 

A week later, everything had changed. With great enthusiasm, he announced, “This is fantastic! We consult for five minutes, and the whole day goes better. Instead of churning about it all day, we’re on the same page. And I’m using it at work too!”

How Consultation Fits into Communication Skills

There are three main communication skills I teach—each designed for a different type of interaction:

🔹 Talking With Tact is for expressing yourself clearly and respectfully.

🔹 Listening That Works is for when someone else is speaking and you want to understand them.

🔹 Consultation is for solving problems or making decisions.

Each one stands on its own, but together they create a complete foundation for successful communication.
