So, you want to communicate better?and have more positive and meaningful conversations?

Yup, me too.?I've been trying to do this for the past 19 years. I have read countless books & articles about communication and taken SOOO many courses.

I'm not sure why communication is so challenging.?

Can you relate to the following..... Do you wish people understood you better and that communication would support your projects versus HINDER??Do you picture yourself having productive conversations that support your work?

Me too!

Sometimes I feel like I am on the set of Ground Hog?day repeatedly wishing for better communication and just repeating the same mistakes over and over.

Well 10 years ago I had a valuable training that was meant to help me better serve my patients.?It was super helpful.??It helped me do better at work with patients, clients, staff, colleagues, and even my personal life!?

The TWO BEST things I learned.

These 2 simple things that will revolutionize the way you communicate with everyone.

1.?Ask lots of open-ended questions.??The best way to get to know what someone's viewpoint is to ask relevant open-ended questions.??

2.?Reflect what you are hearing.??Make sure you are understanding the person you are speaking to by repeating or summarizing what they say and get confirmation that you are understanding.?This is such a wonderful and simple way to build trust with someone.?When someone feels heard they will trust and share more!! Which is what you are after because?the more information you have the more you can connect.

That's it! SIMPLE- open-ended questions and reflecting what you are hearing.?This is powerful stuff.?Don't believe me??Try it.?
