Mindful Awareness.

Be fully involved in the moment—right now! Developing this ability instills a sixth sense for navigating connections. Be intentional and thoughtful; listen and care.

Wise with Your Words.

Speak words that support your highest good. Are your thoughts building you up or tearing you down? Notice the quality of your words—your best first impressions ride on them.

Use Names.

Calling a person by name makes him/her feel recognized, appreciated, and special. It shows respect and that you are genuinely interested in making a connection. You make them feel remembered!

Voice Value. Your voice makes a first impression. Is your voice coming across as smart, friendly, and positive or ignorant, rude, and negative? The way you deliver the words is your “vocal image.

Active Listening.

Practice this skill. You enhance communication; this confirms that the message another conveys is well received and thoroughly understood. You get it!

An engaging conversation is a two-way street. Learn to delight in dialogue to ensure mutual respect and consideration.
