Three Steps to Effective Communications

 

"Listen a hundred times.

Ponder a thousand times.

Speak one."

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Three Steps to effective communications.  

We listen to gather information.  

We ponder the information to gain wisdom, and knowledge. 

We speak once with insight and authority. 

Effective communications is required in every aspect of our lives and business. Communications skills give us the ability to better understand of the feeling of people in our lives and our customers and for them to understand us.  

Insight will enable us to form stronger, lasting relationships and rapport.    

As a business professional our communications skills separates us from our competitors and creates a business advantage.

Very good advice.  I think I have ADD and have to really work harder on the listening part.  Thanks for the reminder.

Lou:

Great advice.  That is why God gave us two ears and one mouth.  So we would listen twice as much as we speak.

Ah yes, speaking with insight and authority reminds me of a favorite Mark Twain quote.  It goes something like this "It is better to be silent and appear a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".  Your steps will avoid this pitfall.
