E28/S2 POSITIVE THINKER - Use the power of “yes and…”

Andrew explains the power of using “Yes, And” in communication to build on ideas and to promote active listening.  The story illustrates how the team leader uses “Yes, And” to generate more ideas during the meeting.  Saying “Yes, And” is not simply agreeing with others but accepting and expanding their ideas.  Andrew highlights that saying “Yes” instead of “No” creates an environment for positive thinking and progress. The “Yes, And” attitude allows people to find common ground, accept and expand on ideas, and offer new thoughts that support the idea.  Andrew suggests using “Yes, And” at work to promote innovation and inspire people. It could make a big difference and can be a recipe for personal success.
