Whether it’s your personal or business life, good communication skills are the key to success. In order to be a great communicator you must be a great listener, this is most significant attribute to being great communicator.
Over my vast years of experience, I have found that being a great listener not only made me a better communicator it gave me an greater advantage over someone that loves to hear themselves talk, a bad communicator. Typically the talking head, or bad communicator, talks themselves in to a corner where there is no way out or even better yet, provided me with information they most likely would regret (a distinct advantage in business).
It’s not hard to be a great communicator you just need to stop, listen, and think. Most notably when communicating, be deliberate with your speech to communicate with precision and clarity.
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug"
