Communication
The art of saying precisely what, when and how we ought to
Each of us communicates even before being aware of it. Once we become aware that we communicate, do we communicate consciously? Or efficiently?
How many times do we fail getting the results we seek, because we express our needs the wrong way? How many times do we get the opposite of what is desired? How many times do others misunderstand, being caught up in time and energy-consuming conflicts?
Some people are naturally efficient in their communicating, others are less so. We can all learn pertinent techniques to apply in order to send across the exact message we want, and to ensure communication is a successful process for us.
