It's not just what you say, it's how you say it

Communication involves three elements: words, tone of voice, and body language. Words only account for 7% of the message. The tone of your voice accounts for 38%, and body language accounts for 55%. Therefore, it's essential to pay attention to your tone of voice and body language to ensure that your message is synchronized.

Active Listening

Active listening is crucial in effective communication. When someone talks to you, it's important to turn towards them, face them directly, listen closely to what they say, nod and pay attention. By actively listening, you're showing the other person that you value their thoughts and opinions.

Speak Clearly and Slowly

Speak Clearly and Slowly

When speaking, it's crucial to slow down and speak clearly. By speaking slowly, your voice tones drop, and you come across as more gentle and thoughtful. Powerful people deliberately speak more slowly and with lower tones, which gives their words power, and people pay more attention to them.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
