There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication ... Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated, and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing. --John Dewey

9 Tips to Be a Better Communicator:
"Want to have a better day -- fast? Listen up. One of the best ways to replenish yourself in the midst of a stressful situation is through communication and connection. You can go from feeling funky to fabulous by actively engaging in listening. Paying attention to what you are hearing is a magnificent way to be a better communicator. Why? Because it demonstrates that you value the person with whom you are speaking. In my coaching practice, I continually see that enhancing listening skills can help you whether you are leading a team of 1,000 or just trying to have a better relationship with that person sitting across from you drinking coffee."

Great tips! Listening, it sounds so simple, but as many of us have experienced, a lot of times, not so easy.

hmmm...I am offended that one of the 9 tips advising women to wait until men are finished speaking.  It seems a much more common occurance that men interrupt women who are speaking, taking advantage of a gendered privilege in our society.  Perhaps if we advise men to allow women to finish what they are saying and then take a minute to sort women's ideas out into something more linear for their own understanding, rather than dismiss women's thoughts as unintelligible, then we might make some great advances in communication. While these tips are for the most part helpful, i can't support perpetuating male privilege in this way by telling women that they should learn to be more quiet when men are talking!

I really things most of the tips are helpful, but It doesn't supposed that every human being deserve the same respect . Eventhough men and women don't communicate at the same way, women deserve the same respect when speaking!

I really appreciate the way nine steps are presented.Everything seems to be easy but it needs lot of patience and selflessness to listen to someone for a long time.Many a time conversation seems to be a competiton between people as each one wants to impose their views on others.If we can follow these steps the level of communication can bring substance and value.This can be achieved only if one has sympathy ,understanding and respect for the persons whom he communicates with.
