Instead of replying with ''I KNOW..''' try ''THAT'S RIGHT''
<span class="html-content">
<p>When it comes to how we communicate, we so often default to habitual ways of replying, without being aware of the impact it has on others.</p>
<p>Something many of us use when replying to someone who tells us something we already know is, ''I KNOW..''</p>
<p>But replying with ''I KNOW'' ( even though it could be entirely true) can do more harm than good.</p>
<p>I hear it not only in professional environments, but often in personal relationships - with friends, family , husbands, wives......</p>
<p>''I KNOW'' can block the free flow of ideas. </p><p>It can restrict open communication. </p><p>It can reflect that you're not open to the perspectives of others.</p><p> It can (sometimes) be taken to reflect a degree of incompetence (you 'knew' but you did not 'do')
And, it can even invalidate someone else, especially when they 're excited to share whatever they're sharing.
This one is most common in close relationships.</p>
<p>A simple tip is to replace ''I KNOW'' with ''THAT'S RIGHT''.
This way you can build on the conversation, justify your course of action ( if it helps, e.g at work) and encourage greater collaboration. It can also subtly offer validation to the person who just shared something with you, while still elevating your credibility.</p>
<p>Of course, it doesn't apply to every situation , but a useful addition to your communication toolkit for when it may help.</p>
<p>Have you ever had someone reply to you with "'I KNOW"?
How did it feel in the moment?</p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
