We communicate effectively when we listen. While listening, we clarify what we have heard and ask for more information. By clarifying, we help the speaker to understand what we have heard and at the same time, help the speaker articulate what was said. As a result, communication occurs and the speaker feels heard, respected and valued. This listening wins us the opportunity to assert, tell what is important to us, how we feel and state what we would like to see happen, moving forward.
It’s a trade – we listen and it’s recognized and as a result, we gain the right to ‘tell our story’ and be heard. It leads to better understanding and a stronger relationship. Effective communication, a ‘win-win’ for everyone …
Conflict often comes as a result of misunderstanding. We fail to clarify. We fail to understand what was said and meant. We make assumptions about intentions and communication breaks down. Unfortunately, in our business and person lives this happens more than we would wish. What started as simple miscommunication escalates into a conflict that seems difficult to resolve.
At reZolve Communications, we value good communication and the resolution of conflict. Our services are designed to help you move forward in these areas. Learn more about our Services:
