We want others to trust not only what we say, but what we mean. There are no hidden agendas, gray areas or reading between the lines. Transparency sheds light on our intentions and builds trust. People work hard for and follow the people they trust!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Avoid Rambling<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We often ramble on, particularly when we are nervous. Try to keep your phrasing succinct and focused and don&#8217;t go off on tangents. Data dumping too much information at one time is confusing to the listener. State your point briefly and clearly &#8211; then be quiet. Silence gives the listener a chance to consider what you&#8217;ve said, and respond.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Avoid Using Demeaning Words<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remove the hedging phrases like &#8220;I just,&#8221; &#8220;I only,&#8221;&#8230;&#8221; from your vocabulary. Sometimes you may need to soften the impact of what you&#8217;re saying when you&#8217;re in a touchy situation. Choose language that softens the impact without demeaning what you&#8217;re saying.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Ask<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A lot of us never ask for what we need or want. We hold it inside and then get resentful when we don&#8217;t get it. Be clear with yourself first about what you want, and then ask for it. People can&#8217;t read our mind&#8230;well at least most people can&#8217;t! One of my favorite new phrases is &#8220;I prefer&#8230;&#8221; which is a kinder, gentler version of &#8220;I need&#8221; or &#8220;I want,&#8221; but it clearly states your preferences and it works. I have adopted a new motto in my life. I ask myself, &#8220;what have I got to lose&#8221;? If it&#8217;s not a life and death situation I ask for what I want. It&#8217;s amazing how many things have manifested in my life simply because I asked!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Control Your Emotions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Show passion and positive Emotions. It shows you are human, you care and are excited about life. However, control negative emotions such as anger, frustration, outbursts and dramatic displays. If something takes you by surprise, and you feel yourself getting emotional, tell them you need to think about it and will get back to them by a certain time. This will allow you time to regroup and respond clearly and logically instead of emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing these 5\u00a0communication tips will help you to communicate more clearly and effectively and raise your level of success in life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 2015 Clear, Effective Communication!
