👉If you have been following us, you will have read Aline’s three things that she believes communication champs do particularly well.
This time, it’s Mila’s turn to share three things she believes communication champs ❌DON’T do - and to tell you how you, too, can avoid doing them:
1.❌ Preach
To reach is to not preach. Be aware and wary of prescriptive language: It takes away your listeners’ right to make up their own minds. Instead, consider adopting a more descriptive tone to reach and connect with your audience.
2.❌ Perfection
There’s no such thing as a perfect communicator. So trying to become one is a frustrating waste of time. Instead, be kind to yourself by setting realistic standards and excelling at achieving them.
3.❌ Pretense:
The world deserves authenticity, not pretense. That doesn’t mean you need to over-share. Rather, be selective about what you choose to share with others, and then speak your authentic truth.
💡Three simple no-gos. Avoiding them can markedly improve how you communicate and connect with others.
💬 Feel free to add your own communication no-gos in the comments below.
