When you know yourself and others, communication can be much more effective
Communication comes in two forms
- Verbal 30%
- Non-verbal 70%
Therefore it is vitally important that
non-verbal cues are picked up
Invest time to communicate
When communicating be authentic –
be yourself
The How, When and Where of communication is really important
HOW – as much as possible, keep it personal – relational
WHEN – sooner rather than later
WHERE – be mindful of your territory – strive for neutrality
‘To be an excellent communicator one must firstbe an excellent listener’
Communication is 90% listening and
10% talking
Active listening needs to be practised
I hear that you were saying …
I sense that you feel very passionate …
‘Begin with the End in Mind’
- Stephen Covey
