I think not showing the mic is better. Without it, it felt like you are having an ACTUAL conversation with me. Thanks n much love for your content Jefferson ❤

great feedback!

@MelissaDelaney-ro8gr День назад

@@jeffersonfisher Ditto! One of your strengths is that when you present your content, you 'connect' with your viewers! 🥰 FYI: There are scientific studies that reveal that online interaction only releases dopamine, not oxytocin (bonding/connecting hormone), so I think the more genuine you present yourself, the more meaningful...just my two cents with inflation, lol! No one can fake genuineness, regardless of mic, or not. You are the real deal! Thanks again for all you do!

1. You tell them "what" you agree with. This does not mean that you agree with everything. 2. You tell them what you've learned. 3. You tell them what's been helpful. They help to de-escalate or dampen the fire of an argument. Thank you, Jefferson, for these nuggets of wisdom when dealing with difficult conversations. 🙂 Great content! The audio is excellent with a microphone although I hear you well without it!

I don't care about what you do with mic or setting as I'm here for the content and it's stellar as usual. I agree finding ways to deescalate our keep someone from feeling defensive is very important. I've learned that you've got a lot of wisdom in this area and are eager to share it. And the way you presented your expertise here is super helpful and very practical and understandable. Thank you so much Jefferson!

@Wraithpaz 2 дня назад

"I agree..., I have learned..., That's helpful for me to know..." Jefferson, I love the way you boil your ideas down to a triad. It's easier to remember and start using. Since I don't have the need to confront very often, it's easy to get blindsided and that's when your phrases pop into my head. And the all-important, "Let your first word be a breath." Love your stuff!

@NancyBrown1975 День назад

You have remarkable responses to difficult situations. Words are powerful. They shut down when they get defensive and nothing gets done. If they are not defensive they won’t put so many blocks in the way of our goal for peace in the conversation. With saying “I agree” their narcissism doesn’t get awakened and start firing all over the place. The narcissist will detect if you are sincere or not. They know. Thank you for your help!

@jennyb.776 2 дня назад

I like the videos in your car, they make me feel like I'm having a casual and helpful conversation with a good friend. The big mic you used today takes away the "casual" vibe, it makes the video feel like it was planned, rehearsed. This is my opinion...I still love the content, and your calming voice. Thank you.

I love that, in this type of video, (longer than the shorts), you can model the relaxed pace needed in good communication. This content is great. I recommend that people watch some of your even longer videos where you are being interviewed, and slow down even more. We all need more slow in our lives.

Hey Jefferson, I found your content about a month ago and I have been watching religiously. I sometimes watch the same shorts over and over again so that I can mentally save the information. The microphone however takes away from the authentic-looking self that you present when you're recording in your car. I found your voice to be clear and understandable with your small phone mic or whatever you were using for your other recordings. Thank you for all the help you provide.

I'm SO glad and grateful that I found your channel, Jefferson! Your content is so valuable, and needed by so many of us who were never taught any of this. Thank you!! I wish (if I had the money and you had the desire to) that you taught small group classes with role-playing for each student using the topics/scenarios that trigger each person the most, and how to master these things more quickly. Thank you for helping us all to be better people, and to create kinder and more helpful responses to problems and issues with communication between people.

@e-criticslh8061 11 часов назад

I like the original Jefferson.. no ad nothing straight to the topic then the famous finishing line .. " follow me for more ..etc" So simple so easy to follow and also the clip air time is very short and sharp..no pressure into anything.. Nowadays need to sit and wait for a while before the resl topic kicks in.

@erinbelzile531 2 дня назад

Never had a problem with the sound before. I like when it’s just you in your car having a conversation; it feels real and spontaneous. The mike takes that feeling away. I vote to ditch the mike but I get why you feel that way. 😉

@shubbuamin2000 3 часа назад

Jefferson your content is so damn good that I am not even paying attention to the mic, sound quality etc. I loved the OG videos shot on your phone cuz those felt like a direct one-on-one conversation. Whether you stick to that or use this new microphone, I'll still be here! So I guess go with what feels better for you.

@PCkitty26 Час назад

Great information here. I was recently in a jury selection process for high profile case here in Colorado. While I didn’t make the jury. I did have to sit through two days of listening to the attorneys question the potential jurors. One thing I noticed with a defense attorney is how she always acknowledged people when they shared information. She would say thank you I appreciate that. I know it was hard to share. Or something of that nature. It was a very intense proceeding and I learned a lot, but I understand the attorneys were really trying to weed out people and some people were afraid to acknowledge their biases, but the defense attorney seemed to be able to put them at ease and they opened up more. I think a lot of that same process applies to what you’re saying here.

@treelandon День назад

Jefferson, your videos make me feel prepared. When I get into a conversation, maybe a heated conversation, I loose all train of thought. With your phrases (I hope to study more). It makes me feel prepared for whatever might come. Do you understand what I’m saying. I rarely argue however, when I do I get so nervous and I try to defend myself I forget how to keep myself calm and be respectful of others. I am a very sensitive person and was never taught how to stick up for myself. So thank you ! I appreciate you and your videos! 😊

@orielwiggins2225 День назад

@@treelandon I relate to this so much. We were taught NOT to stick up for ourselves. And that's continued in adulthood. Learning now, but it's tough when the conflict triggers and I lose my words. I just end up going away and wondering why didn't I say this or that. Or at least let them know I'm not gonna take their attacks. Anyway, may we learn how to stand up and stay in our integrity.

@@orielwiggins2225 omg yes! Very narcissistic alcoholic father and a lot off childhood trauma just left me so unprepared as a young women and getting into our older years to defend my thoughts and beliefs from a teacher, coach, manager , coworkers as so on …..

@orielwiggins2225 День назад

@@treelandon yup only learned about narcissism years after messy ongoing divorce and custody cases. Then uncovered that I was born to a cult leader and borderline /narcissistic spouse, and had gone back to another two very oppressive patriarchal churches for most of my adult life, so I'm very familiar with what you're talking about. Triggered is putting it lightly sometimes. But even just dealing with contractors who aren't doing their job feels like walking thru a minefield so finding language on the spot is really tough. I'm finding a lot of help from these episodes and his content, and then practicing online in the comments on other content when folks get a bit off, where the stakes are very low as it's not personal and I don't engage with the real trolls. Just folks who might need a bit of careful redirection.

@falconbritt5461 День назад

Thank you! Your channel is such a blessing. With the holidays approaching, many of us are anxious or full of dread foreseeing the usual arguments and hostility (over politics, religion, race, sexual orientation, values, whatever). We can choose not to attend and take a vacation instead, restore our physical and mental health a bit. But if we choose to attend, we will definitely benefit from knowing how to possibly avert arguments (whenever possible - the drunken or toxic person who enjoys stirring up fights may be determined - but you've also taught us how to set boundaries). If they still insist on a massive blowup, we can bow out of that shite show as well ("Well, I'm tired. Gonna call it an evening.")

Feedback: Go to Settings/Camera and Uncheck - Mirror Front Camera. You'll appreciate it later one day not having words/things reversed. Mount the microphone lower, but later, get a smaller Mic so it doesn't block your face, matches your "studio" ,and will be more portable. Most RU-vidrs use a DSLR, with a top mounted (Rode) mic and a 16-35 lens...all in one easy package. The sound is good and the content, as usual is excellent!

Love your content! I have taken notes and use this from time to time when a situation comes up, looking forward to using more! If I may make a comment about the big microphone, I have to admit that to me it kind of distracts from your content, and from seeing your natural reactions (hand movements, etc) to the content as you’re speaking. I really liked the little mini microphone clip that you had because it didn’t get in the way. It also felt more natural, since this is a car setting and kind of feels like we’re on a lunch break and you’re sharing some good info. But with the large microphone, it is distracting for me. Love your podcasts though and the comfortable natural setting you share them in, thanks for doing this!

@suzisas1321 4 часа назад

Hey Jefferson, I really enjoy your content you are fabulously amazing. The sound was perfect, its still good yet that mic is intrusive, its front of stage! What I would say is can you find one camera angle and keep it there, the movement is distinctive and creates a sea sick feeling - is there a 2 camera option that you could flick from one to the other without the sway. Looking forward to Monday - I have to work out what the time would be in UK.
