Communication Introduction
“In our relationships, it is our responsibility to first listen and then to talk. When we allow others to be heard, we send a message that their needs are important and thus they are valued. When we begin the conversation with our wants, needs or desires, we immediately invalidate others. When we make our relationships all about us, we damage our ability to effectively influence others… Having the humility to listen and the courage to learn is a cornerstone trait for powerful leaders. Choose to discover the needs of others before divulging your own and you will make a difference.”
