Simple messages and communications convey sincerity, integrity, confidence and truth.\u00a0 Make an effort to streamline your communications.\u00a0 This is particularly important when saying no.\u00a0 Don\u2019t feel a need to provide excuses and explanations.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want people to think that your no is up for argument.<\/p>\n
Get to the point.\u00a0 If you tend to waffle, reflect on what it is you want from conversations in advance.\u00a0 This should help you be more concise.<\/p>\n
Eleanor Roosevelt said: \u201cGreat minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people\u201d.\u00a0 Become a great mind.\u00a0 If you want to demonstrate trust and openness, and create a safe space for people to be frank with you, then avoid sharing too many opinions.\u00a0 They often don\u2019t add anything.\u00a0 Definitely avoid gossip.<\/p>\n
Language can be a way to show integrity.\u00a0 Integrity is a starting point for trust.<\/p>\n
Own your unique self expression, as it is a way you can cultivate confidence.\u00a0 Don\u2019t over fixate on eloquence; concentrate on being distinct and real.<\/p>\n
Become aware of when your mind is drifting in conversation.<\/p>\n
Keep an eye on your own and other peoples\u2019 body language.<\/p>\n
Meet people where they are, instead of where you are.\u00a0 What are the needs of the audience?<\/p>\n
It takes confidence initially, but allowing for pause in conversation gives everyone the permission to think a bit more about their responses.\u00a0 Plus, this allows for conversation to become more creative.<\/p>\n
Do not use your smartphone (or keep it in eye-shot) when you are speaking with people unless you have very good reason.\u00a0 Remember how it feels when other people do that to you, and that the biggest gift you can give anyone is your attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
