The First Rule of Successful Communications  

 

"Hear much, speak little."

Source unknown  

  

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

The first rule of successful communications 

Is to listen . . . .  listen with interest 80% of the time and to speak 20% of the time.  

Listen to the other person to understand their wants, needs, desirers and motivation.  

Ask questions of the person to gain deeper insight to who they really are as a person.  In listening we better understand how we can assist them and how we can be of value to them.  

Encourage the person to speak and proactively listen to them to fully engage them.  

Successful communications is in the art of listening.

Hi Will Hamm, one of my first training sessions way back when I started in Real Estate I was told "you have two ears and one mouth. Use them in that proportion."  I've never forgotten that.

Good morning Will. Developed a friendship with Lou by taking some classes he taught. Learned a lot. But I learned more over a cup of coffee after the class. Lou wanted to better everyone with whom he had contact. Enjoy your day.

Lou was my motivational mentor here Will, I miss his presence here, though his writings remain. It makes sense that we listen more, talk less!
