Success is directly related to a person’s ability to communicate effectively.

Pay attention to how you talk to people and to how they respond. And pay attention to how people talk to you and how it makes you feel in return.

A couple of things people generally don’t like are too much explaining, too much detail, too many tangents, and too much defensive posturing (really, nobody likes an attitude).

Remember to:

• Observe
• Listen
• Stick to the point
• Avoid being boring

With a little attention and practice, your professional (and personal) communication will become much more clear.
