Effective Communication Goes Both Ways


"Two monologues do not make a dialog."

Jeff Daly

One person saying something to another, with no response, is communication. However not very effective communication.

  1. One person saying something to another, either with no response or not listening to what is said back (as per you last post) is what happens most of the time.

  2. I agree and would bet most people who are poor listeners, which is most people, don't realize how little they hear.

    That includes me. I've found I have to sometimes force myself to concentrate on what the other person is saying, and in many cases when I initially disagree with them, if I ask them to go over it one more time, I find our differences to be small to non existent.
