Communicating Effectively Anytime and Anywhere

George Bernard Shaw said the biggest problem with communication is the illusion it has taken place. Just because we communicate, it doesn’t mean our message has been understood. Being an effective communicator is vitally important, and the program focuses on several key components of effective communication:

• Understand how others perceive youand make adjustments.  This uses the tenets of Emotional Intelligence, and is a must for smart communicators.
• Mirror and match others’ non-verbal communication, which is key in strengthening relationships and effective listening. Learning how to mirror, (reflect back) and pace (replicate rhythm, energy, volume, breathing, etc.), and the nuances and importance of tone is crucial in understanding the meaning of what is being said.
• Read others’ behavior styles. In order to build rapport and generate trust more efficiently it is imperative we understand how people need to be treated, and this is done by assessing their learning styles.
• Leverage the power of dynamic listening.On average more than 70% of what we hear we forget within 24 hours, which menas we waste a lot of time forgetting what we’ve heard. Effective listening is comprised of several skill sets including asking for clarification “Let me be sure I understand what you mean,” reflective listening, targeted listening techniques and reclaiming the attention when people are just not listening.
