Upwording ORDERS

Don’t you just hate it when people give you orders? Do you hear the ‘must’ and ‘have to' and finding yourself feeling rebellious, and simply won't do it now. Or you do it, just that little slower, later and without much enthusiasm? Yet, even though we find orders demotivating, we easily give them to others. Sometimes even in the same breath. “Don’t tell me what to do!" then turning to a child  “Just do as I told you!”. What’s going on? And how can we ease the stress generated by orders, demands, commands and with the seasoning of urgency?

Rivca & Charles explore alternatives that take us to making requests, and conscious considered choice making.
