Communication, friendship and Society in general

Communication + Trust = A relationship that will last a lifetime.

Use these valuable communication skills to become a more effective communicator and better leader.

Being a great leader and doing great work are important, but to be truly successful you need to know how to be a great communicator.

What makes one person better at it than another is often a matter of a few little-known communication skills. Here are Some valuable ones.

1. Connect with yourself.
   To be a great communicator you must first know who you are and have confidence in yourself and your ability to connect with others.

2. Speak with sincerity.
   Nothing is more effective than being sincere when you communicate, and nothing is more important. Sincerity is the cornerstone for making a connection.

3. Be consistent.
   Live your message and practice what you preach -- you'll have a wider reach and can carry more influence. Your credibility comes from your consistency of character.

4. Meet people halfway.
   When you communicate you naturally want people to understand what you're saying, but true communication involves meeting others halfway. You should be learning from others, not just talking at them.

5. Truly listen.
   Make a point of listening to what the other person is saying. It not only gives you more insight into whatever's being discussed, it also shows respect and builds connection.
