I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

Communication impacts everything.

It is simply impossible to become A Great, without being a great communicator.

Without the ability to effectively communicate your view and the way forward,

it is difficult to lead or empower others to embrace change.

As a person, you are always poised to communicate.

A keen awareness of your emotions, motivation and

the susceptibility of others to your message is necessary to advance your value proposition and

inspire others to take decisive steps forward.

We need to also become active listeners.

The most important tool in our arsenal is?active listening:

the practice of listening to others while remaining fully engaged.

If you’re actively listening, you’re not distracted with your phone or other tasks.

You’re also not simply waiting to talk. Instead,

you’re investing your full attention into listening to what someone else has to say.

This allows you to better understand their reasoning and motivation and better read their tone—

which can help you interpret their emotions and find solutions that work for them.??

This leads you to be a good communicator.
