“I Have Time” – Abundance Give someone the biggest gift you can give: time. Especially powerful when we’re in a rush, when the deadlines are looming, and when you don’t think you have time. You show the other person they are valued.
“I’m Sorry” – Humility The key to this phrase is to limit it to just these three words. When we say more, it is usually an explanation, a defense or a deflection. This weakens the apology. Stick to the three words.
“…And Then Some!” – Commitment Use it to make a promise even stronger, as in “You have my full support, and then some”. You can combine it with “I have time”.
“I Love You”– Love You may be wondering if the office is the right place for this. You should try it, and then some! If this feels too risky with just one person, use it when several people are present and address all of them.
“I Forgive You” – Forgiveness, Putting Relationship over Being Right Try this when someone gives you a long explanation of why they didn’t get something done.
“You Were Right” – Humility Best used without any subsequent explanation. Just let the other person enjoy the fact that they were right – and possibly that you were wrong.
“Today I Learnt …” – Growth Mindset This should be phrase to end each day. If you can’t complete the sentence, you’re playing it too safe. Time to try something new. Change a habit. Take a look at the list of things you’ve always wanted to do and found an excuse not to start.

Phrases is “communication gold”. It’s a chance to exhibit great leadership. Try them out. All of them. Here comes a question for you: …and what else? What other three-word power phrases do you know? I’d love to hear them. Let me know at
