Five Keys To Better Communication

1. Have a Desire to Get Better - Without an initiative to change, nothing will happen. 

2.  Assume Nothing - Assumptions get you nowhere.  Clarity is key to successful communication.

3.  Listen, Listen, Listen - Actively listen instead of actively planning a response.

4.  Become an Interpreter - Learn how the other person uses words to communicate, and take note.

5.  Know How to Respond - Certain words can trigger a fight or flight response.  Think before you speak.

This life is not a dress rehearsal.  Empower yourself ... Ask!
