• Think before you speak.• Go slowly.• List directions in sequential order.• Use transition words (first of all, next, or
finally)• Stress key words, such as action verbs (turn,
copy, or print) or concrete nouns (computer, folder, or time sheet)
• Eliminate unnecessary words and steps.• Watch for nonverbal signs of confusion.• Ask for the directions to be repeated back to
you when you’ve finished
Ask yourself 3 questions before you give directions
to someone:Location “Is this an appropriate place to
talk?”Timing “Is this the appropriate time to
talk?”Tone “Is this the appropriate way to talk?”
