Are you an effective communicator?

Improving one's communication skills is a lifelong journey that requires consistent effort and self-reflection, and an essential aspect of effective communication is listening actively to others.

Hi Wayne excellent points to consistently be aware of with talking to others....and listening plays a big role.

Hello Wayne - listening is a good skill.  Better listening can lead to improved communication.  

Hi Wayne-Here's to being a Work in Progress!!! It's a lot better than remaining stagnant. Being a good communicator isn't just about how well you speak but also about how well  you listen. 

Yes it is all about listening and responding to the questions... too many people all they do is talk, talk, talk and do not listen Endre

Listening is a very tough skill to master, at least that's been my experience!

I think that I communicate well, but I know that I would do better if I improved my listening skills. Learning to listen well takes practice. 

This is SO  true, and so many people do not really listen, or constantly interrupt.  Annoying! 

Good for you for understand your strenghts and weaknesses.  It's through that self-evaluation that we improve ourselves to be better.   KUDOS!  

Listening is a skill we must all work at and attain.  I am putting your quote on my office wall as a reminder every single day.  Thank you Wayne Martin 

"My ability to communicate is enhanced with my ability to listen." 

I do well enough when communicating with a small  group but still a work in progress.
