Be Heard By Speaking Less

Do you only speak so that others can hear you, or do you communicate for deeper understanding?

Well, stick with me because this week, I'm going to help you understand why listening will get you faster results.

Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Emotional Intelligence Speaker and Trainer of the year and Master Coach Trainer. Today, I want to continue our conversation around effective communication to build stronger relationships by helping you to be heard by speaking less.

Let me now take you through five key principles that will help you to be heard by speaking less.

Number one is to be?fully present.

Number two is to?show them you are listening.

Number three is to?reflect for clarity.

Number four (this is a big one) is to?suspend all judgment.

Number five (this enables you to do all these things that I'm talking about in your communication) is to?listen for emotions.

Effective communication is a vital component of the world as it is today. The more you get technology thrown at you to do everything, the way people communicate is creating a lot more challenges than what it used to when we would just speak to people face-to-face.

So you must learn how to be heard in a way that allows others to understand what it is that you’re trying to put across.

Well, that's it for me for another week. Join me again next week as we continue this conversation around building relationships through greater communication by building bridges of collaboration.
