Episode description
Communication all jumbled up? Seven tips for how we can experience repurposed communication by being intentional and focused with conversations.
- Repeat. Make sure we understand what someone else said.
- Assess emotions. Check your own emotions to see they are affecting what you say and hear.
- Put down your phone. Give the conversation your full attention. When we give communication our full focus, it means our words are more thoughtful, our focus is clearer, and we demonstrate how much we value people.
- Say what you mean.
- Assume the best.
- Practice listening. Let go of the habit of working on your reply while the other person is speaking.
- If you aren’t sure, ask questions to provide clarity. Keep the tone kind and not condescending.
