503. Discover Your Emotional Magnet with Sandy Gerber
She tried something unconventional on her first date: a psychology theory from the 60s. 12 years of marriage later, she told me exactly what she did. Tune in to my conversation with Sandy Gerber and learn: How Sandy turned a "spectacular failure" into a mission to decode communication. What the four emotional magnets are and how they drive every conversation you have. How to identify your own dominant emotional magnet. Why your emotional magnets can shift depending on the season of life you're in. How to craft messages that actually connect by speaking to someone's emotional magnet instead of their behavior. What the 16 communication blockers are and why "identifying" with someone's story can actually break connection. Why labeling people by behavior ("you're a workaholic," "you're controlling") kills empathy — and what to say instead How Sandy used the emotional magnets on her first date with her now-husband, and how the same tool can reveal if your relationship is drifting. Sandy Gerber is a Communication Coach, Emotional Intelligence Trainer, TEDx speaker, author and speaker. She is the author of Emotional Magnetism which has won 24 international book awards.
