Communication = Credibility

For the past month, I have had the pleasure of visiting and learning from others, of which I appreciate greatly. The truth of the saying: "The more I know the less I know" once again made plain to me. Simple truths are always the best.

As a result, I learned the following:

• Busy people always make time to get back to you - they do what they say
• Doing what you say (communication) builds credibility and trust
• Good communicators say much without talking forever - careful and intentional with word choices.
• Good communicators don't usually over commit - if they do, they still make things happen or apologize and work out a mutual solution
• Good communicators have substance - you want to hear what they share
• Good communicators typically listen more than they speak - when you listen to others, they value more what you speak - credibility built
• Good communication typically eliminates the need for excuses

Please reach back out to me and share your thoughts on what credible communication means to you.
