Communication The sharing of information between two or more
people to achieve a common understanding about an object or
situation.

Ten questions to ask yourself to determine how effectively you
communicate. 1.Am I taking full responsibility for the message
being heard by the other person? 2. Did I respect the other
person's point of view? Did I have a reaction to what they were
saying that prevented me from listening to their full message? 3.
Did the other person feel heard and understood? (Did I acknowledge
them?) 4. If I was asking someone to take a specific action, did I
make my request clear? 5. Am I speaking in a way the other person
can understand? (Am I communicating in a way the other person will
listen?

6. Am I checking to see if the conversation worked/was
successful? 7. Was I communicating openly, without prejudices,
expectations and judgment? 8. Did I leave the conversation with
some value? 9. Did I give the person the gift of my listening? 10.
If the outcome of the conversation did not meet my expectations,
did I learn what I could improve upon to better communicate with
that particular person?

topics are avoided by your business partner or by your spouse? What

for a deeper understanding of who the person or organization
is.

are inevitable. We learn more from differences of opinion than from
validation Don't avoid conflict-communicate with those who

9. Communication contains context, text and subtext.
Communication is the sum of our perspective (context), the words we
use (text) as well as our personal motivators and perspectives
(subtext) Effective communication requires awareness, flexibility
and an acute yet agile listening TIPS: Pay attention to context,
text and subtext for a more thorough listening &
communication.

10. Responsibility Don't blame others for their not hearing
you; take responsibility for re-communicating your position to
ensure that you've been properly heard. Take responsibility not
only for what you say, but also for how you're heard! TIP: Be
flexible in your communication & be willing to re-think how you
can communicate a concept in a different way, so it can be heard.
Play with your words until you've found the words that properly
express what you want to say. Re-format your ideas if
necessary.
