I have been trying to improve my communication skills for the last couple of years.
Just because I can say something doesn’t mean I should.
Before I talk,
I NEED to T.H.I.N.K. and ask myself these simple questions:
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I saw this acronym on a school wall and thought how brilliant it was!
Using this guideline does not preclude me from having tough conversations with others.
It will help me have meaningful connections.
There is nothing wrong with beautiful silence!
I don’t understand why it is so uncomfortable to me!
I can learn to express myself clearly, kindly, and concisely. So, regardless of what or how I feel, how urgent the message is…
T.H.I.N.K before I speak. How are your communication habits?
