COMMUNICATION :)

Communication makes the world go round. It facilitates human connections, and allows us to learn, grow and progress. It’s not just about speaking or reading, but understanding what is being said – and in some cases what is not being said. 

Communication is the most important skill any leader can possess. In appreciation of the art communication, here are my top 10 quotes on the subject…

1. “Two monologues do not make a dialogue.” – Jeff Daly

2. “Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.” – Bernard Baruch

3. “The art of communication is the language of leadership.” – James Humes

4. “Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” –  Anne Morrow Lindbergh 

5.  “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” – Albert Einstein

6. "Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life."-Brian Tracy

7. "I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening."-Larry King

8. “Storytellers, by the very act of telling, communicate a radical learning that changes lives and the world: telling stories is a universally accessible means through which people make meaning.” – Chris Cavanaugh

9. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” – Mother Theresa

10. “Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow.”  – Lawrence Clark Powell
