HOW TO BE A GOOD COMMUNICATOR - IN BUSINESS...AND IN LIFECOMMUNICATION: How to be a good communicator and how to make the most of your relationships: *Be interested in other people - show that you are by asking questions (but don't be insincere or hypocritical - nice word). Not mundane comments about the weather. Say something interesting like: "How's the back yard?" Be tactful. * Be punctual - this shows you are responsible, courteous and respectful of other's time. * Enjoy other people's company and have FUN. * Tell the good news (without being a "Bible-basher"). Be positive and other people will enjoy your company. * Be decisive - this projects confidence. * Like yourself and be positive about your life. Doing this will draw others towards you. * Keep your sense of humour. Hope you've still got one after reading all this! * Tell people what you like about them - without embarassing them. * Be realistic in your goals, plans and desires. * Look at people, when you talk to them. * Spend time alone with your partner. Go on walks together. If you are not in a close relationship, discuss what's happening in your life from time to time with a close friend. If like me, you don't have one, join "rent-a-friend". * Give and take in your relationships. * Smile often (not inanely). * Respect people (for what they are). * Recognise that right and wrong are never black and white. There are always three sides to any story: your side, the other person's...and the TRUTH. * Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes (only if they fit you). I like walking a mile in another man's shoes. By the time he finds out, I'm a mile away and I've got his shoes! * Watch, wait and listen when developing relationships * Be assertive, but cautious * Don't gossip, backbite and backstab * Personal INTEGRITY is crucial at ALL TIMES. Be true to your values and beliefs... and most importantly, JUST BE YOURSELF.
