Communication Skills - The key to open your mind
Communication skills come from practicing. To acquired communication skills, I had to practice talking many people and about many topics. You may not believe me, but since I was a child, I have been exposed to society to practice my skills throughout my school years. Perhaps that is why I can talk and listen to others so fast, even for many minutes, many hours.
Putting yourself in the other person's shoes is very important for good conservations. Other will not know whether you understand their situation or not if you do not show your body language.
For example, a slight nod, a smile, and eye contact, if possible, all create a sense of security from you.
A sense of security is necessary for communication to become close and easier to confide in rather than you just greet them. Openness in communication only comes from being able to say your deepest thoughts, even if you know it's wrong, but just communicating about it so it can fly away. That how's my communication skills were formed.
Discussion:
Before you learnt about 7 Cups, what were your communication skills like? My learned about 7 Cups last year, but that's when I got the most support in the skills I needed. (I only reply to participants who join the discussion above. Thanks for understanding me. )
