Attitude Is Infectious and Drives Behavior
Your
attitude is the first thing people pick up on in
face-to-face communication.6
Just as laughing, yawning, and crying are infectious, attitude is infectious.
Before you say a word, your attitudes can infect the people who see you with the
same behavior. Somehow just by looking or feeling, you can be infected by
another person's attitude, and vice versa. When you are operating from
inside a really useful attitude, such as enthusiasm, curiosity, and humility,

Effective Speaking
Perhaps the greatest single stumbling block to real communication is the
one-sided nature of speaking. Most of us think
of "communicating" as a one-way process. Two monologues do not make a dialogue,
however. Exchange between you and your targeted prospect is the key to effective
communication. So, listening is an active pursuit for selling your ideas.
What
makes people listen? The three basic factors are:
-
Self-interest;
-
Who's
speaking; and
-
How
they say it.
Understanding the basic principles of how we communicate and why we listen -
what works, what doesn't, and why - starts you on the road to a realistic
appraisal of what you want to say and how you plan to say it...

Non-verbal Communication
Communication is not just about the words you
use. In fact, you communicate more with your gestures and expressions, your
body language. "Start to notice your body
language, and other people's and see how much you can pick up about what

Understanding Mental Maps
A Mental Map
is a powerful way of expressing the though patterns, pictures and
associations that already exist in the brain. Different people take in the
world through different senses. People have
different preferred ways
of thinking and communicating their experiences - some express
themselves in pictures, others talk about how things sound to them, and
others speak about how things feel. If you want to connect with them, you
have to figure out which sense they favor...

Cross-Cultural Communication Challenges
Culture
is often at the root of communication challenges.
Exploring historical

each other is key to opening channels for
cross-cultural communication. Becoming more aware of
cultural differences, as well as exploring cultural similarities, can
help you communicate with others more effectively. Next time you find
yourself in a confusing situation, ask yourself how culture may be shaping
your own reactions, and try to see the world from the other's point of
view...
