Communication & Culture
Personality Traits –Communication styles • Know yourself – How am I wired? • Know others – How are they wired?
When you know yourself and others, communication can be much more effective
Communication comes in two forms - Verbal 30% - Non-verbal 70% Therefore it is vitally important that non-verbal cues are picked up
Invest time to communicate When communicating be authentic – be yourself
The How, When and Where of communication is really important HOW – as much as possible, keep it personal – relational WHEN – sooner rather than later WHERE – be mindful of your territory – strive for neutrality
‘To be an excellent communicator one must firstbe an excellent listener’ Communication is 90% listening and 10% talking
Active listening needs to be practised I hear that you were saying … I sense that you feel very passionate …
