Effective Communication: Hear the Unspoken, Speak Well, and Say What You Mean!
Are you a good communicator? Do people understand you easily? I've had several experiences lately that made me realize once again the tremendous importance of EFFECTIVE communication. I tend to forget that everything I do or say, or DON'T do or say, is an important form of communication. Our words, body language, facial expressions, silence, and tone of voice all communicate volumes to everyone around us. What language are you speaking? Does your listener understand it?

Do You Say What You Mean?
Some years ago, I worked in a taxi office taking bookings over the phone. You would assume that it would be simple enough to say, "Could I book a taxi please?" Rule one - never assume!
