How To Speak So That Kids Will Listen with Michael Port

This episode I’m speaking with Michael Port. We talk about all kinds of topics including quarantine, the importance of sacrifice, delayed gratification, feeling safe, dealing with frustrations, the family value system, and so much more! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Where safety helps and hurts  Teaching kids to sacrifice something in the moment for something in the future  Why posturing creates problems  Developing the skill of fluidity  Focusing on gaining clarity with what people need  The danger of reactionary values  Michael’s hidden talent  QUOTE “If we can go into "Safety-first" with the people we care about, the outcome of those conversations will likely be more productive and positive rather than conflict oriented or conflict filled” - Michael Port “Quarantine is an opportunity for us to lean in to the concept of being able to sacrifice something in the moment for something better in the future” - Michael Port “What we’re doing now is continually working on our ability to say ‘No’ to some immediate need in service of a larger, more important need. If we can do that, life will be so much easier” - Michael Port “People will often compromise their values to keep their needs” - Tony Robbins PEOPLE MENTIONED Hal Elrod Amy Port Ryan Michler Tony Robbins Mike Michalowicz EPISODE RESOURCES Michaelport.com Steal the Show Podcast Follow on Twitter, Insta, Facebook, Youtube.  ABOUT THE GUEST
