Secrets of Good Communication

Many years ago I attended a lecture on speaking and communicating. I have no idea who the speaker or author was. I found some notes and my added thoughts and I think they are worthwhile passing along. We all speak but many of us could definitely improve in this area. In our day and age of presenting ourselves in the best light–put your money where your mouth is–here are ideas to ponder:

Communication is the one area that controls the life you live and the focus you attract.

Listen to what you say not what others say and don’t say too much.

Make every word count. There is a tendency to exaggerate bad times. This creates imprecise communications to yourself and others. It creates unfocused even negative experiences….you think?

Ask yourself are you reflecting accurately your experience or are you communicating to impress, dazzle or to gain sympathy and understanding.
