The Art of Seeking Permission #shorts #SeekingPermission #EffectiveDialogue #BuildingTrust
In this short monologue, Dr. Wayne Pernell explains how the way we ask for permission before offering feedback or raising concerns transforms the interaction into a negotiation, placing the other person in control. By phrasing requests such as “Can I offer you some feedback?” or “Do I have permission to bring something up that’s bothering me?” we signal respect and invite openness, which can increase the likelihood that the listener takes the message seriously. The speaker contrasts this approach with more direct, potentially confrontational language like “Can I tell you what’s wrong with you?” or “Can I just own it?” highlighting how the former style fosters a collaborative tone while the latter can trigger defensiveness.
