Do you want to know how to communicate more effectively?
One of the key measures of successful people is how accurately and precisely their words can convey what they want.
As you know the power of words can move us, and so they can go utterly awry. We may say one thing, but the other person got the opposite message. Words can be bridges or walls.
"If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." - George Orwell
Here are five tips on how to communicate more effectively and with more precision found in Anthony Robbins' bestseller "Unlimited Power".
1. Ask Specifically:
You must describe precisely what you want, both to yourself and to your listeners.
2. Ask Someone Who Can help You:
Ask the appropriate person who the resources, the knowledge, the capital. the sensitivity or the business experience.
3. Create Value For The Person You're Asking:
Figure out how you can provide value (tangible or otherwise) to the person you are asking.
4. Ask With Focused, Congruent Belief:
When you ask, do it it with conviction. Express that in your words and your physiology.
5. Ask Until You Get What You Want:
It doesn't mean asking the same person, or asking in precisely the same way. You need to change or adjust your questions to suit the person you are asking.
