Communication

Communicate for Commitment

"Listen to Understand, Speak to be Understood"

George Bernard Shaw stated, "The problem with communication is the assumption that it has taken place."

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence? -SAI BABA

Before you speak, ask yourself, will what I say cause damage to a relationship with people important to me? Which is more important to me; to say what I want to say, or to continue a positive relationship?
Before you speak, ask yourself, will what I’m going to say be considered a criticism? If so, shouldn’t I wait until a more suitable time and place? Shouldn’t I say it in private?
Before you speak, ask yourself, will what I plan to say bring sunshine to a dim place? Or will it bring darkness? Will it open a window of opportunity for someone or some idea? Or will it close a door in someone’s face? Will it create or kill?
Communication has consequences. You may say, “I take it back.” But you really cannot. It’s better that you ‘give it’ right in the first place.
It’s better that you think before you speak.

This is just one of the ideas and techniques that will be covered by Listening for Understanding, Communicating for Commitment training workshop.
