Hey Family Brand community! Chris and Melissa here. In today’s episode, we're unpacking a simple phrase that has made a huge difference in our conversations: "Tell me more about that." This little question has opened up doors in ways we never expected, both at home and in our work.

Chris dives into how using this phrase has helped him understand deeper feelings and perspectives, making conversations richer and more meaningful. It’s amazing what you can learn when you give someone the space to share more about their thoughts or feelings.

Chris discovered the power of this phrase in sales, finding it invaluable for understanding clients better. It’s just as powerful at home, especially with our kids. Asking them to share more can transform a typical conversation into an opportunity to really listen and connect on a deeper level.
