Struggling with Communication? Here are 4 tips that can help
1️⃣ Active Listening: Pay full attention to the speaker, ask open-ended questions, and provide feedback. (Ex: "Can you tell me more about that?")
2️⃣ Empathy: Understand and share the feelings of others, creating a stronger emotional connection. (Ex: "I can imagine how difficult that must have been for you.")
3️⃣ Assertiveness: Express your thoughts and feelings respectfully and confidently, while considering others' perspectives. (Ex: "I understand your point, but I believe...")
4️⃣ Conflict Resolution: Address disagreements constructively by focusing on common goals and finding win-win solutions. (Ex: "Let's find a solution that benefits both of us.")
