This Week's "Very Important" Challenge: Bring Empathetic Communication to the Digital World
Effective communication in the digital world requires the same intent and skills used in face-to-face communication.
The challenge often lies in reading and relaying intent across media.
- The next time you digitally communicate when emotions are high, try using one of these:
1) Allow the other person to finish their thoughts before responding.
2) Reflect their feelings and words before expressing your own.
3) Clearly state your intent: be specific.
Ask Yourself: How can I listen with empathy during text, phone , email and social media conversations?
"Empathy is the fastest form of human communication."
- Stephen Covey
Have an incredible week and Keep Moving in the Direction of Your Dreams!
