Whole Being Communication

Most communication problems start because at least one of the people involved in the
communication exchange is not actively listening to the other. 

 By listening, we dont only mean listening to the words...we are also referring to all the non-verbal aspects
of communication.

What happens to many people is that instead of focussing on the other person’s message
they are planning in their head what they are going to say next...and they drift away in thought. Sadly, this leaves the communication exchange with two people speaking about something, but not really relating with each other.

Listening with all your being is a valuable communication skill. 
Simply remember a time when you felt that a person wasn't really listening to you, to understand the importance of listening.

If you want to improve your professional and personal communication, a very clever idea is to learn ways to do it efficiently and in a positive manner. You will notice a great change in the way you relate with colleagues, students, parents and people in general.
