HEY MY FRIENDS: If these videos are having a positive impact on you, please show your support by becoming a CHANNEL MEMBER and/or clicking the THANKS BUTTON above and leaving a little love. A little love will allow me to continue delivering these videos directly to you!
Done! I discovered you just this week and within two days, I handled two very difficult people (the hypercritical prophet and the bully) in a classy, beyond reproach way. I can’t thank you enough. I’m investigating your books and courses ❤
'We are not here to give lessons; we are here to learn lessons'. Now, THAT sums up the one most important message humanity needs these days! Everyone is peddling some brand of 'expertise' online which often amounts to confirmation bias and every other logical fallacy, the comments sections can be an invitation to be eviscerated by anyone who does not agree with someone else and thus places then on 'knowledge trial', and the basic skill of developing judiciousness..... tragically departing. Thank you Dan! Always!
Every morning I start my day with a video of yours. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. You are my people and have a new path since I have started listening, I had given up. Now it’s confirmed it’s those who have chosen me, as an empath, to lift them while they destroy whats offered freely to them. YOU are awesome!! ❤
I started watching this channel to improve at work (call center), but it’s actually helping me become a better mother to my 12 and 13 year old, so thank you a million times ❤
If your message is not a smiling thumbs up, You're doing GREAT message, you may HAVE to say it. When going 90 mph towards a cliff, some don't want to hear about the cliff. But if that's your assignment, you HAVE to give it.
Yes especially with divorce death or dating - I just learned that. Having said that sometimes someone is being quite manipulative and threatening but using plausible deniability principles and in some cases maybe it’s not our place to judge that too, totally #depends!
@@Mercury-Wells 😜 same maybe but the two that I prophesied death for really were trying to isolate, psychologically and publically abuse me etc. I might do it again. Only if I get firm or repeated yes from divine source - multiole signs from the universe … anyway good luck and love!
This is by far one of the funniest videos I have seen from you (I can’t wait to watch them all.). Thank you so much for giving me gigantic laughs today. Your editing work is so hysterical. I cannot say enough how much I love you coming from a place of white light and your powerful demeanor. Keep up the great work!
OMG - We have it backwards - we show our worst side to the ppl closest to us 😩 It's TRUE! Our family unit teaches us how to act towards those we live with... so our unconscious simply continues the pattern & it's very difficult to fight & change.
I loved your communication tips in relation to family members- please do more in this area. We invest so much effort on communication in work situations and so little on family/ personal relationships
@communicationskills I would also like to see more communication tips videos for family members. Is this something that's on your to do? I've watched all your videos, but I try to adjust them to family situations.
I have a co worker who is super critical of me at work. And i went to the managers to tell her to slow her roll because I felt that wasn’t a boundary I could cross. And she pulled out all of her stupid “experience” over me even though I’ve been at the company for two years more than her. I’m the one who got the talking too. And she made it worse by hugging me in front of the managers to make herself look good. So thanks for this I’m gonna use the helpful advice thing on her.
Another great video! Thank you, Dan. I especially love learning to "cancel" (false) prophesy by saying "I reject your assessment and I reject your advice." Those words are so freeing and the thunder sounds are marvelous! Your wisdom and humor are a real blessing and encouragement to me.
@@TheWizardOfWords Ha! JUST as I discovered this video, my daughter walked in. She has taken on the habit of finding fault with everything, which is a quality that sucks the life out of...life!
I listen to one video everyday so I can 😅...These videos are funny. On a serious not you have saved me from sending bad emails and reacting in meetings. Thanks, I still have a job!!
Mr. O’Connor, may I just say that I have had your videos on blast for days since I discovered your channel. I have been searching for someone who could teach me what you are teaching me. I could give you the biggest hug of gratitude right now. Your tactical but compassionate message of how to teach important communication skills from a loving place is a total game changer, and I am both engaged and laugh-out-loud entertained by your delivery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤🎉❤ So grateful.
My mom has always been slightly disappointed that I am not perfect. She keeps giving 'helpful' hints of how I should change to be closer to perfect. I'm nearly 50.
Well it's your mom, Maia, so you might view it as I do when my mother rides me about my VERY FEW faults :). I let it slide. Only with my parents, mind you, I let it slide. Be grateful she's only SLIGHTLY disappointed. Now seriously, when she gives you helpful hints, you might say (remember, now, this is only for your mother): "Hmmmmm, I'll give that some thought, Mom." Then think about it. And most probably----forget about it. If she brings it up again, tell her you're still thinking. As you might guess, I believe mothers should be cut a huge amount of slack, provided they are coming from a loving place, as most art. Misguided, perhaps--but loving. Your mother sounds as though she wants you to be the best version of yourself, and sometimes when they think that way, they also think they know what the best version of yourself would look like. And of course--they don't. :)
She is codependent Codependent ppl can’t exist with out controlling other ppl Or how they should live their life when their life is ceotic Remember ppl that can’t control Them selfs go Out and try to control Other ppl To Give them A feeling. That their better
Once again, you have hit the sweet spot. I used your advice in responding to a backstabbing email, which cc'd the Ueber Boss, so I took the liberty of "replying to all". I'm just a volunteer, so I have nothing to lose other than the principle of a proposed project for a pandemic critique.
I have been watching these videos to learn how to handle a difficult family member during the holidays. Your videos are by far the best on UA-cam! I felt very prepared by Christmas, and what do you know? The bitch didn't come! But what a relaxing holiday we had. Thanks for the advice. I know it will come in handy.
I watch a lot of personal growth and development coaches on UA-cam. Currently yours is my favorite! I’m new to the channel and it’s been so helpful and applicable instantaneously #WhatEveryoneShouldKnow #HelpfulInformation
NENE! My mother reminds me occasionally that when I was a little boy I would say to her (after I had spilled the beans on something or other) WHAT GOOD IS A SECRET IF YOU CAN'T TELL IT! Now as a general rule, I hope I've grown up enough to value secrets. BUT I AM NOT A SECRET SO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! And thank you in advance for doing that!
Missed some of this earlier when it premiered so returned to watch in full, and can see I'll need to revisit. The messages in this video are profound - there's much to digest here, and lots of unlearning/learning to do. And on a practical level, I don't know if indexing your vids is new or it's just that I've missed it before - but I think it's really helpful, & a generous way of addressing the varied needs of your followers. So glad I found your channel. Thanks, as always, both to Dan & TeamDan.
I really appreciate you breaking it down into the specifics, especially from an aspie perspective, it really helps. If you did any vids on this stuff it would be awesome for me and I'd be super grateful
Wow you are good, knowing the Divine and translating the psycho emotionnal extension of our lives, i found some beautiful descriptions in your content, and with fun! Thank you💫
That is interesting, I never thought about that before, but you are right about our family members getting the worst side of us. We do treat acquaintances better than our own family . That is sad because it's always our family members that have our backs when it comes down to needing help and nobody else cares. Family is important. The problem I have with my mom is I don't like her calling my daughter names and I don't like how she mocks my daughter and swears at her too ! My daughter is 11 and my mom can't deal with the teenage attitude. So I have distanced myself from her. We hardly communicate. My daughter does not want to go over to her house anymore on the weekends when I have to go to work. and my mom doesn't really want her over anymore . My daughter is a really good kid and I don't want her around negativity. So when I go to work on the weekends, my daughter stays home alone. I work 12 hour and 16 hour shifts on the weekends. That's a long time for her to be home alone. My mom is 71 and if anything happened to her I know I would have regrets. I want to repair the relationship, but my mom is stubborn. I'm the type of person who doesn't hold grudges. But my mom sure does. I don't foresee my mom treating my daughter any better . She has said some horrible things to my daughter . She called her the B word. Fu__ing brat , and even said , "I'm not your grandma any more ." So the relationship between my mom and I is damaged. But in an emergency I would be there for her, and in an emergency she would be there for me. The reason I work so much is because rent in Arizona is expensive! My rent is 1,400 dollars a month and that is considered cheap. I also have to pay for dance and tumbling, and my daughter is in a private Christian school so I have a monthly payment to the Christian school, that her scholarship didn't cover. Plus other bills. I don't focus on debt because that will attract more debt. I tell myself that I have plenty of money and that I am blessed financially and that I lack nothing. Miraculously with my mind set, everything gets paid and I have the strength and stamina to work 7 days a week and I never get sick. God takes care of me and blesses me and keeps my health so I can keep going and going and going. Once I am a teacher again , instead of a parapro, I should not have to work so much and I will make more money . Plus that is my hearts desire to teach elementary school. Now that I have been through your training, and I put it into practice; along with being mindful of my thoughts and realizing that I am the creator of my life through my thoughts, everything is falling into place. The universe is aligning itself and I am in harmony with it and it almost feels supernatural like I am going through a matrix while my life is unfolding and doors are opening and I never thought I would be HAPPY and EXCITED about life again .I am only choosing to have happy thoughts . if I get sad or start feeling bad I immediately change those feelings and get rid if them. I live my life like I am not missing anything and that I already have everything. I think it and so it will be. It's being mindful. I recently read that we think that we are humans with a spiritual side . But really we are mostly spiritual beings living a human existence. I got side tracked, but I do want a good relationship with my mom . ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dan, I just love yout tactical communication with the right degree of humour! Brilliant! Often effective communication is key, but tactical communication is waaaaaaay beyond that.
My favorite one was a cult member that I argued religion with. I said something to him about how his leader wasn’t of God. He said I should repent or I would be cursed of God. Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm. I told him God does not obligate me to show respect or listen to false prophets.
Erick, I wish you the best and I hope you always have no hesitancy about seeking the help you need. We all need help at one time or another. No shame in that game--at all.
@@TheWizardOfWords *breathes heavily* huh huh huh. I want to play a game... What disability do you think I was diagnosed. If you are correct I will never doubt myself in shame (again) and seek the help I need. Today I had the awareness to call the domestic violence hotline and requested counseling. I have yet to reveal my medical history but considerations are in order. My appointment is coming up, meantime. PS- Thanks, That means something coming from you. You can only fail the game if you are to chicken to reveal your scrutiny. Muahaha! Look deep into my eyes. What twisted little broken soul do you seee. 👀Avacadabra!🪄
@@TheWizardOfWords Playing with my life is the problem to begin with and I got excited. Just echoing our unspoken common sense. I wasn't going to speak up my diagnosis in actuality since bouncing off of you I realized you'd want me to get better by realizing I should respect myself more infront of people I don't know.
@@TheWizardOfWords you made my day. I look forward to your videos and love the way you respond to a situation esp where the boss is managing the team poorly. I loved that, if they accuse me it’s also bad management just loved that and it’s so empowering
Thank you very very much I love your videos you’re funny! I have learned so much it’s all about the come back! Your videos help me to learn how to respond and not react how to stay in control and take my power back
I absolutely positively 50,000% love your videos this is helping me to grow into respond and not react now I have healthy tools in my toolbox to deal with Internet trolls thank you
I’ve looked on your website but see nothing about your VIP membership. Can you please send me the link to get me more info. about this membership and where I can sign up for it?
I have a friend that speaks with a serious vocal fry accent that makes them sound apathetic and negative. I have tried to communicate to them how this affects their professionalism, but it seems as though they are determined to ignore me. They represent us in meetings and often with people who impact our potential. Others have brought it up to me. Can you make a video about vocal fry? I know this is an accent the person affects on purpose thinking it makes them more interesting to listen to as they don’t do it all the time and when we discussed it they mentioned as much. I love them, but it makes me want to shove ice picks through my ears. Think Paris Hilton as a two pack a day smoker only more jaded and slightly belittling. Any advice appreciated! I tired recording a meeting and having impartial folks give us input and all of them mentioned it in polite ways. After the meeting this person’s take away was, “It made me stand out!” :)
Sorry for the wall of text! P.S. The person is extremely intelligent and a great contributor. Their message just often gets lost in delivery. Thanks again!
Many insecure women take this on (extreme case, see a Elizabeth Holmes) in order to ‘be taken seriously in a male dominated space’ Meanwhile it comes off as super fake and nobody believes the BS
This is good. I have a ridiculously rude and hyper critical manager. Cannot wait to break my news to him. Funny how you asked if they are smiling through the nasty statements. I get laughter from my jerk manager.
Dan, in your expert opinion, what do you do about people with streams of suggestions about what you should do at the weekend. Bad restaurant recommendations. Patronising day out suggestions, you know really obvious things you've done a million times. All given in a tone of utter confidence and superiority?

I'm so happy to hear you are applying these phrases and techniques at home. Most of them are good for both work and home :)
In other words: for those who think they’re prophets, DON’T GIVE YOUR OPINION UNLESS THEY ASK FOR IT!!!
I learned this lesson the hard way -- by pissing everyone off for years!

This is great!! I'm cracking up. I can just see the look on my bully's face.
The prophesizing phrase has changed my whole communication game. 😂 Well done!!
3:00 Manner. Expose you or protect you? That cleary defined it. Thank you Dan.
Love your videos and the message of kindness you deliver. I imagine your family dinners are a hoot.
They are! To put it mildly.
I react because I don't want to have the engagement with said person as it is. A long pause is best, I wish I could! And I will! Thanks to you Dan!

This was gold!
I can't find the 3rd video about the "Messenger" critics. Can someone link it here?? Thank you

11:05 “That’s not the kind of help I respond well to.”
:)
You crack me up preach and teach at the same time
I hollered, “…it was really Rex Tillerson” 😭😂😂😂 All jokes aside, I appreciate you so much!
Thanks, Aramot. Now I have to re-watch my own video to see what the heck you meant!

You're welcome and God bless you too, Namratha.
@@TheWizardOfWords you made my day. I look forward to your videos and love the way you respond to a situation esp where the boss is managing the team poorly. I loved that, if they accuse me it’s also bad management just loved that and it’s so empowering
One of my top pet peeves and greatest struggles all in one.
Thank you Dan!
You bet, Sandi and be sure to share these videos.
Thank you for the great videos! This one is perfect!😁
I'll settle for helpful, but I won't throw away "perfect." Thanks, Michelle.
Helpful! Thank you 🙏

A hundred million thanks, and I think we took math from the same teacher, Lonjemariesfashions.

Well now, thank you!
“I reject that bad attitude from my flying unicorn kingdom. Lol.” Say it with a giggle?
Im learning and laughing at the same. You are very informative and hilarious. thanks😂
Goal achieved! Thanks, JesskakesLLC Horton.
Thank you so much.
He is fantastic!!!
Well done
Loved this episode!!! I laughed so hard I woke my husband. “I reject your....”
Wait, does that mean your husband is now woke? (Just a little liberal humor)
Yes, I woke him up and he needs to stay that way. Lol! Love your sense if humor.
I’ve looked on your website but see nothing about your VIP membership. Can you please send me the link to get me more info. about this membership and where I can sign up for it?

You are awesome!
Well thanks for the encouragement, Inna.
I have a friend that speaks with a serious vocal fry accent that makes them sound apathetic and negative. I have tried to communicate to them how this affects their professionalism, but it seems as though they are determined to ignore me. They represent us in meetings and often with people who impact our potential. Others have brought it up to me. Can you make a video about vocal fry? I know this is an accent the person affects on purpose thinking it makes them more interesting to listen to as they don’t do it all the time and when we discussed it they mentioned as much. I love them, but it makes me want to shove ice picks through my ears. Think Paris Hilton as a two pack a day smoker only more jaded and slightly belittling. Any advice appreciated! I tired recording a meeting and having impartial folks give us input and all of them mentioned it in polite ways. After the meeting this person’s take away was, “It made me stand out!” :)
Sorry for the wall of text! P.S. The person is extremely intelligent and a great contributor. Their message just often gets lost in delivery.
Thanks again!
Chris Ragan well it sounds like you might be a false prophet?
Many insecure women take this on (extreme case, see a Elizabeth Holmes) in order to ‘be taken seriously in a male dominated space’
Meanwhile it comes off as super fake and nobody believes the BS
I wish you were a boss and I could work for you. My life would be SO much better!
I'll have to ask Jean if she agrees with your assessment of my "bossness."
Was there a third video on the Messenger, or is it part of this one?
oh how i love these videos....
Well thank you, Anne.
You are the best!
This is good. I have a ridiculously rude and hyper critical manager. Cannot wait to break my news to him. Funny how you asked if they are smiling through the nasty statements. I get laughter from my jerk manager.
Too right, mum's have the right motive, but typically the wrong manner
Dan, you are on fire 🔥 😊
I’d love for you to introduce mom Dan on your channel…
Maybe one day!
@@TheWizardOfWords
Nice 💖
I’m binge watching your videos again. Thanks for all you do! I have just given you a super thanks- my first one ever! Feels good to reciprocate 😁
Thanks for your participation, LM :)
Dan, in your expert opinion, what do you do about people with streams of suggestions about what you should do at the weekend. Bad restaurant recommendations. Patronising day out suggestions, you know really obvious things you've done a million times. All given in a tone of utter confidence and superiority?
The solution is at 13:18
You are great 👍 😊 4:09
When do you use the megaphone?
When the other person is deaf--or feigning it :)
I reject both your assesment and your prophecy - "What you gonna do about it" XD
Motive, Method, Manner! Mmm! Yum! 🤣💝🙌🏾
Life is random and things don't happen for a reason. They just happen. We can learn from this chaos or not.
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Damn, you are good.
