Great Communication Tool

Today’s Inspiration

Sometimes it is difficult to say what you really want to say to someone when you know you want to set a particular boundary whilst keeping your relationships in a place of love, respect and dignity. There is a great communication tool I use called ‘CRC’. Commend~Recommend~Commend. We all love being acknowledged at the same time as knowing exactly where we stand.

Coaching Tip

More about CRC and how it works. Let’s say you want to let a colleague know that you do not appreciate them being late all the time.

How you frame it using the CRC method is to firstly Commend them on who they are to you inside your relationship and what you most value in them i.e. “I really value the work you are doing which is moving this project along”.

Then you come in with the Recommend i.e. “I have noticed you are late on occasions and I was wondering if there is a problem your end with our scheduling”. Then wait and listen to hear what they have to say…with you following on with an assertive (yet neutral tone) something like…”maybe we can schedule our meeting at a more appropriate time so that it suits both of us, as my preference is that we start at the time we set”.

Then follow on with the Commend i.e. “Once again (use their name), I wanted to let you know how much your valuable input is making a difference to this project”.

The CRC method works in all walks of life as a great communication tool. Give it a try!
