"Ten Rules of Effective Communication"
1. Think before
speaking; be patient sometimes when you know there will be a lot of discussion,
write out your thoughts on certain subjects you think will be referenced.
2. Know what and
why you want to say something; this will help you to control your emotions and
also your ability to say things the way they need to be said.
3. Adapt what you
want to say the current situations and audiences; if you mingle before speaking
you can learn a lot of the mood and the interests of the groups you are with,
in education they call this pre-assessment.
4. How you say
something, is as important as what you actually say; with or without
conviction, clearly spoken, or mumbled.
5. There's more to
communications than what you say or hear, i.e. body language, facial
expressions, hand motions, leaning in or away; all communicate.
6. Communicate
from the perspective of your listeners point of view; this way you'll have
their attention and they will also know you are listening to them.
7. Receiving
effective feedback from listener is necessary; ask questions and wait for an
answer. Repeat back what they have said
and >ask, "Is this what you are
saying?"
8. Long-term
effect of what you have to say is as important as the moment you to say it in.
9. Back up what
you have to say with action. All smoke
and no fire is wasted. This is the same
as believing in what it is you have to say.
10. Develop the
abilities of a good listener. Learn when
to listen, ask appropriate questions and then listen to the answers or concerns
of others.

Listening-Let Me Hear"

Sometimes slow to
respond
trying to decipher
words
understand their
meanings
opening my soul to
harken;
On bended knee to
beckon
with the diamond
gleanings
images lifted by
the birds
forever our souls
to bond!
