Maintenance Of Presence GUIDE “Maintenance Of Presence” Communication Technique Guide The main objective of this technique is to help you strengthen your communications with the people you feel it’s important to significantly improve your business and personal relationships with. It can be people from your surroundings, spouse, children, friends, work colleagues, employees, immediate superior, etc. Note that this technique doesn’t necessarily aim to solve a problematic situation, although it can often be the case, but rather to allow each person to be heard and feel complete with any situation where negative emotions have been experienced. In this way, future communications will not get swayed or tainted by past events. All non-‐expressed emotions from the past undermine the optimal growth of a team or a relationship, thus creating unnecessary frictions and limiting “Boxed-‐IDs”. Conflicts are part of the life of human beings and if you can address them in a straightforward manner, you then share a very important and appreciated asset with the people around you. You create thus a clear and fluid atmosphere in your surroundings. When to use it: • When the usual methods have not given the expected results. • When you must "set the record straight" with someone. • This technique is very useful to start any communication with the people of your surroundings. It allows you to be totally present and open to the relation without generating any non-‐completed communication for the future. It consists simply to ask people if they have any non-‐completed communications with you. • When you wish to stop unnecessarily creating some Ego • When your “Boxed-‐ID” for someone is deteriorating. It is extremely effective for saving you time (a precious resource), for increasing your efficiency in work relations and in personal relationships that really matter to you.
