- Become a better communicator
ငြိမ်းချမ်း Peace of mind can help you to become a better communicator.
How often do you listen to your colleagues? Have you ever been distracted by listening to them talk? Have you ever said, "Well, I'm listening," but your mind is always thinking about the next meeting?
The less you pay attention to what the other person is saying, the faster the other person will speak and eventually find it harder to listen to what he or she is saying.
When you listen calmly, all your attention is focused on what the other person is saying to you .
As soon as you realize that your mind is gone, you need to bring it back to those who spoke it.
You need to prevent yourself from easily expressing your opinions while others are speaking.
And we expect to hear only what we want to hear when others are talking.
That's not what he's talking about. Instead of responding with your own opinions, listen with peace of mind
Listen openly and responsibly to what others have to say.
In other words, the message to check whether it is truly understood in my mind they are just talking about, summaries need to see again. And what did they say? We have to ask again.
Try this out. Sometimes you just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.
Another professional communication method in the workplace is sending emails .
An angry message from one of your co-workers . When you receive an email , this is not fair. You may feel criticized for your work.
At this point, you may react angrily.
For this, first of all, you need to pause before responding. At this point, I feel sorry for the person who sent you the email . We have to cultivate empathy. They have the same needs and wants as you. Worried dances. They have hope for the future.
At this point, you need to take their place and ask yourself what they really need from you right now. After thinking like this, I want to cooperate with them. You need to rewrite the email with an open mind .
