There are several ways to communicate and one of them is verbal. Unfortunately most of us, time to time will not come across as we intended. Conscientiousness and practice is needed for solid and strong communication. Let see how we can avoid misleading conversations.
When you engage in a conversation, ensure that you are following these concepts:
When you listen
Another point to consider
Words like:
HATE should become DISLIKE
PROBLEMS should become SITUATIONS
ALWAYS and NEVER should become OFTEN and SELDOM
I CAN'T should become I WILL
YOU (accusatory) should become I (take a stand)
NICE could become GOOD, KIND, FRIENDLY, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, FAVORITE, AND FANTASTIC
It’s not easy, so practice, practice, practice and think.
