Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the Moment

Good Movement Draws Good Movement

Today’s episode is coming to you from a cute little Airbnb at a women’s ag event in Utah! I originally planned to record a different topic before coming here, but...plans changed, and so did my mind after speaking here.

I was asked to speak on the topic of building strong relationships on cattle operations through communication, which you may know by now is right up my alley! I love doing workshop-style presentations and answering questions from other people. One of the common themes that kept coming up was how to communicate in faster-paced, intense environments (like you would encounter in the sort alley), so I wanted to give you my best suggestions on how to do so.

In this episode, I cover:

• Choosing not to communicate in the heat of the moment unless you have your emotions regulated and in check
• Ask honest questions so you can gain knowledge and find a way forward to help the other person(s) involved + yourself
• Validating others and their feelings and why ‘soft’ doesn’t mean weak
• How to get other people on board with improving communication and drawing good movement and why it’s a ‘slow burn’
