Communication Tips

One of the best communcation tips that can be given is to “listen more than you talk.”  Too many times when people are speaking the listener either finishes the speakers sentence or jumps in cutting them off completely and starts talking about what they want to.  If this sounds like you, try putting your hand to your mouth while the other person is speaking to break yourself of this bad habit.  There are many good communication habits we can focus on, such as asking others probing questions when they are talking getting them to expound on what they were saying.  This not only shows them that you are listening, but that you are interested.  In this age of technology where we text, e-mail and facebook, don’t forget there is nothing like personal communication….face-to-face.
