There is power in communicating. Do you realize that communicating effectively has become a lost tool? Most times, we are so quick to defend or point prove that we miss vital information coming from the other person. Our point of view is the view that we often demand for another person to see. We are all guilty of speaking to be heard. What we tend to forget is that listening is also apart of the process in communicating.
There is so much power in effective communication. When communication is effective, both parties have the opportunity to speak without interruption, listening is involved which in turn, leads to a common ground for a solution or resolution. Have you ever had a conversation with a person where it just flowed? You felt that person understood you and you walked away with a greater understanding of that individual? That was communication at it’s best. Effective communication is not only vital in business but is also fundamental in our personal relationships as well. Are you a great communicator or do you need to improve? Remember, you must listen in order to hear. There is power in communication.
