WE #6Communication

Often we don’t realize it, but we communicate verbally and nonverbally. Our posture, the way we fold our arms or the expression on our faces can speak as loudly as our voices. Imagine being in a meeting with someone who never makes eye contact and is slouched over in their chair with their arms folded. You would automatically assume that the material you are presenting is either uninteresting to them or that they just don’t care.  If you are the presenter, you leave the meeting feeling discouraged and that your hard work preparing for the meeting was unappreciated. When we verbally communicate in the workplace and in life in general it is important to be concise in what we say. Don’t leave room for guessing or misinterpretation. As my uncle use to always say; say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t be mean saying it.
