Itās not just inexplicable charisma ā they do specific things to make their communication highly effective.
Over time, Iāve noticed the women around me who have this gift all tend to do so thanks in part to a few specific phrases.
And when I started adopting these myself, I noticed a profound difference in my own conversations as well.
Want to know what these phrases are?
Letās go take a look.

1) āI understand your point, andā¦ā
Many people use the phrase āI understand your pointā, but do it just out of politeness.
Immediately after comes a ābutā and then they shift their focus to arguing their own perspective, like what you said doesnāt matter at all.
But some women say this phrase in a way that shows they are truly effective communicators.
The difference? Swapping out ābutā for āandā.
This shows that these women understand that two perspectives can exist side by side, without one necessarily needing to āwinā over the other.
They showcase their listening skills and at the same time also their ability to contribute constructively to the conversation.
And this is a crucial skill to have because sharing different perspectives fosters fruitful discussion and growth.
2) āCan you help me understandā¦?ā
The phrase āCan you help me understandā¦ā is a significant one in my communication toolkit.
Itās a polite way of seeking clarification when things are unclear, and it also sends a signal that you value the other personās perspective.
I recall a meeting I had with a project team where we were discussing an innovative but complex idea.
Rather than assuming or pretending to understand everything, I said, āCan you help me understand how this will impact our current system?ā
This not only helped me gain more clarity but also ignited further discussion amongst the team.
It opened up an opportunity for us to delve deeper into possible implications, which we hadnāt considered earlier.
As you can see from this example, using this phrase does two things ā it shows your humility and your willingness to learn.
And trust me, these are two traits people highly appreciate in any conversation.
3) āLetās think about this togetherā
āLetās think about this togetherā is a phrase that invites collaboration and active participation.
It subtly says, āYour opinion matters to meā.
In one study, it was found that using inclusive language like āweā, āusā, and āourā enhances communication and promotes a more cooperative working environment.
It may be natural to use this phrase when you are doing a team project at work, or planning a group vacation with friends.
But the most crucial situations where it comes in handy are actually those where teamwork isnāt common sense.
I mean those times where there is a conflict and it starts to feel like a āme versus youā situation.
This phrase helps turn it around to something much more constructive ā āus against the problem.ā
Thatās how women who are highly effective communicators help turn tense situations around to keep the peace and invite collaboration.
4) āI appreciate your feedbackā
Feedback is a concept that we all know is good in theory, but in practice can be hard to appreciate.
Especially when it isnāt that we are the best, most amazing person on the planet.
The thing is, not many people know how to give feedback well.
Sometimes it can come across as rude, confusing, inaccurate, and sometimes it can even be completely off base.
But women who are highly effective communicators know a secret ā they canāt control how someone gives them feedback, but they certainly can control how they can receive it.
And this can do a lot more than you may think to affect the dynamics of the discussion.
It shows that you value the other personās opinion, even if it might be critical or challenging to hear.
You are able to separate out their poor communication from the contents of the message, which could prove to be very useful.
And, it may even help the other person bring their focus back to what their goal should be ā giving feedback ā and turn their attention away from unhelpful communicative tactics.
In this way, this phrase can even transform conversations and save relationships from conflict.
5) āI really value your perspectiveā
In any conversation, making the other person feel heard and valued is key.
The phrase āI really value your perspectiveā does exactly that.
This phrase holds a special place in my heart.
Itās not just about agreeing or disagreeing with someone; itās about respecting their thoughts and feelings.
When we communicate, we donāt just exchange words, we also share a part of ourselves.
By telling someone you appreciate their opinion, you acknowledge their contribution to the conversation.
The women I know use this phrase generously, especially when they have explicitly asked someone for their advice or opinion.
Because you should never take anything for granted in life.

6) āI could be wrong, butā¦ā
āI could be wrong, butā¦ā is a phrase that took me a long time to adopt.
Itās easy to fall into the trap of wanting to appear confident and knowledgeable, especially in professional settings.
However, I realized that showing vulnerability can actually strengthen communication.
In fact, the Prafall Effect shows that making mistakes and being wrong could make us more likable rather than less.
And it makes sense when you think about it ā when you see that someone is capable of admitting theyāre incorrect, you can trust what they say much more easily.
Highly effective communicators build this thinking into their everyday communication.
They use this phrase to express their thoughts without shutting down potential counter-arguments, showing theyāre always willing to learn.
7) āThatās an interesting pointā
In todayās modern world where there are a million distractions vying for our attention, attention is more precious than ever.
And thatās why this very simple phrase can have such a huge impact, if you say it the right way.
When you say it with genuine interest and attention, you show youāre actively engaged in the conversation and are absorbing what the person is telling you.
Maybe theyāre telling you about their passion for growing different kinds of potatoes.
Or maybe theyāre explaining why the latest episode of your favorite TV show was totally wrong for the storyline.
Whether itās something youāre passionate about yourself or something you donāt know the first thing about, effective communicators use this phrase to keep them grounded in the present moment.
The power of words
Conversations are more than just an exchange of words.
They are a profound dance of thoughts, emotions, and perspectives.
They shape our relationships, influence perceptions, and ultimately define our world.
As women, our communication style is a unique blend of empathy, intuition, and strength.
The phrases we choose to use can elevate these conversations to new heights.
When a woman says āI appreciate your feedbackā or āThatās an interesting pointā, she is not just expressing politeness.
She is fostering a space for open dialogue, mutual respect, and deeper connections.
The power of effective communication lies not just in being heard but in making others feel heard too.
So ladies, as we navigate through the maze of lifeās conversations, letās remember the power of our words.
