Every day you deal with communication and it's an important part of life. Kearn
the four main points of effective communication and watch as your life
improves.
A big part of life has to do with communication. And unless we improve our
communication skills, we're going to continue to have relationship challenges.
And how do you get away from relationships? They're everywhere. They're
in your family, they're at work, they're in your neighborhood. And so it seems
smart that we would take some time here and walk through some steps here
they're going to really help you communicate better with those people
around you. You know when there's miscommunication, you have extra problems.
You know that when things get all messed up between you and another person, it
just causes another higher level of stress in your life. So, let's bring that
down. Let's simplify this, let's practice a better level of communication. So, what
you'd think that when it comes to communication, we have to actually talk
better. Actually the number 1 is we need to listen better. Before we ever
respond, before we ever jump into a conversation, we listen to what the other
person is talking about. And with listening, we take an opportunity to
learn what it is that they're talking about. Many times what we do is we jump
to conclusions. We jump to the end of the story.
We assume and then we actually make a mess of the conversation because we
really were not listening. So to upgrade your level of communication, consider
improving your listening skills and number 2, learning and clarifying. When
we can understand our spouse better and understand our children better about the
way in which they talk and the way in which they share information, we actually
can't understand how to communicate to them better. So, it brings us to number
3. Before we go to speak and answer them, take a moment to clarify what it is
that you've heard. What it is that's going on in the conversation. To make
sure you're on track. Because you and I both know, as soon as one of you gets off
track, the misunderstanding, the miscommunication can happen. Number 4.
Now it's time to share your answers, your point of view, your wisdom, your
experience in that particular conversation. Now, if you're the one
starting the conversation, of course you'd start with number 4. You'd share
but then you'd go right back to number 1 so that you're actually practicing
better listening skills. If you could practice better listening skills, you
could then learn and clarify. You could more accurately repeat back to them what
it is it's happening in the conversation. And now you're part of the conversation
would be more dialed in. Less confusion, less misunderstanding, less problems. You
know, raising children gives you an opportunity to test this every day. Being
married, having a business or working on a team. Communication skills are
constantly available for us to be able to improve. But make a choice today that
part of improving the life you have is upgrading and improving the way in which
you communicate. Here are 3 key elements, we care
about communication because we know it's a very core source of a better life or
it's a very core source of issues. And we have a course here in Salt Lake City
called master influence. And we hope to see you someday. Be able to attend that
course. But if you can't, hey, just subscribe here to these YouTube
