Communication Strategies

It's not what you say but how you say it!
We've all heard this but have we heard ourselves?
After some dialogue with a colleague, friend or family member take time to reflect on that experience.

Were you actively listening? Was your mind on your points only and being defensive or were you open-minded?

Did you choose your words carefully? Remember zingers and zapper words!

Have you attempted to use less zingers? Has this made a difference?
