Morning Motivator – Good Communication

"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after."
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift From The Sea

Occasionally we are graced with what I term a "pure moment".  A pure moment is that one-time experience where you know this is the exact person you are supposed to meet at that precise moment and engage in that particular discussion.  It's when you are walking out the door to go home and end up staying to chat for another 2 hours.  The "purity" of this moment is the encompassing of good communication.

We all would like to be known as a good communicator and we have the ability to become just that, agree?  We must be aware that talking AT others is not a good form of communication, rather we want to communicate WITH others.  We must LISTEN… think… reply… pause… LISTEN… think… reply (repeat).    Often, we overlook the value of what the other person has to say and more often just "wait for our turn to talk again."  

Your point WILL be heard, You WILL be respected and you WILL have plenty of time to counter if you listen well and your points are well thought out.  You don't have to "win the discussion" to "win over" the other person.  Stay focused on what is trying to be communicated and you will be granted the opportunity to make any counterpoints.  Remember, Your DOG is a GOOD COMMUNICATOR… and it can't speak!!  

Have a great weekend and embrace the opportunity to enjoy a "pure moment" of good communication!
