The reason is simple: we are subconsciously drawn to people who are friendly because they make us feel good and bring more enjoyment to our lives.]]> 2017-05-08 14:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170530785 ianslater https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170530962 One of my favourite English Proverbs is “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” I find that many people say whatever goes through their minds without putting any thought into what they are saying. As a result they say things that end up reflecting poorly on themselves.]]> 2017-05-08 14:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170530962 ianslater https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170531627 Most of us don’t have the time nor do we want to spend our emotional energy to figure out what someone else is trying to say. People who are indirect in their verbal communication and who tend to hint at things without saying what’s really on their mind are seldom respected. When there is something you want to say, ask yourself, “What is the clearest way I can communicate this point?”]]> 2017-05-08 14:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170531627 ianslater https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170551376 Last week I met with a personal chef. At first I was impressed with him and considered hiring him for an upcoming event. However, the more he talked the less impressed I became. Very few people like to be around someone who talks too much and dominates the conversation.]]> 2017-05-08 16:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170551376 ianslater https://padlet.com/ianslater/U23_Help_Sheet/wish/170551801 Common Barriers to Effective Communication:
The use of jargon. Over-complicated, unfamiliar and/or technical terms.

Emotional barriers and taboos. Some people may find it difficult to express their emotions and some topics may be completely 'off-limits' or taboo.

Lack of attention, interest, distractions, or irrelevance to the receiver - Differences in perception and viewpoint.

Physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties.

Physical barriers to non-verbal communication. Not being able to see the non-verbal cues, gestures, posture and general body language can make communication less effective.

Language differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents.

Expectations and prejudices which may lead to false assumptions or stereotyping.  People often hear what they expect to hear rather than what is actually said and jump to incorrect conclusions.

Cultural differences - The norms of social interaction vary greatly in different cultures, as do the way in which emotions are expressed. For example, the concept of personal space varies between cultures and between different social settings
