[EP12] Communication Skills With Your Pilot ABCs Series
Communication is the cornerstone of success in any relationship and the Pilot and Aviation Lifestyle probably magnifies the need for this. We cover good tips and techniques for communication in today’s show.

With time, frustration and work, here are a few things I learned and share on the podcast.
Communication takes work.Starting those tough conversations takes work.
The power in “I” messages and how you feel vs YOU DID THIS
The danger in the written communication - tone, meaning and context.
Communication and good protocols in the Digital Age.

Learn my STEBAR Process for managing your mind, your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
How do you rate your ability to resolve conflict, without just ignoring it or shoving it under the rug.
If you continue in these ways, what do you think your relationship will look like in 6 months? a year? 5. 10? Will it survive?
What are your big goals for your relationship, marriage and future? This matters.
