Convey respect, gratitude from "summary" of The 5 C's of Good Communication by Laura Stack
Respect and gratitude are two of the most important aspects of effective communication. Showing respect and expressing gratitude can go a long way in creating positive relationships and conveying understanding. Effective communication often begins with these essential elements.- Let's show our true respect by communicating with conscious awareness and employing a mindful presence. While speaking, use polite language and maintain a calm tone to demonstrate your gratitude.
- Demonstrate honesty and humility when we talk about ourselves. Avoid boasting or trying to appear better than someone in order to impress them. We can earn respect by showing that we can carry out meaningful conversations without having to compete with others.
- Not only is it important to be honest, but also try to listen deeply to what other people have to say. Openly acknowledge their views and ideas to honor their contributions. Don't spend much time disagreeing, instead focus on how you can find common ground within any discussion.
- Express your generosity through body language - make sure you create good vibes in the air while listening as well! Use facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and smile to express your respect and appreciation for the people around you.
- At the end of conversation, thank your audience for being patient with you, express your appreciation for their feedback, and let them know that their advice was valued. Being respectful does not take away from our strength, but rather makes us even more prepared to tackle difficult topics.
