After learning about effective communication, how might you communicate differently with others?

Answer

You will interrupt more frequently to state your opinion.

You will distract yourself with your cell phone when others are speaking.

You will listen carefully, ask questions at the appropriate time, and provide feedback to the speaker.

You will let the speaker direct the conversation and only interact with the person or the group when they ask you a question directly.

Explanation

Effective communication includes active listening and responding in a way that shows you understand. Listening carefully, asking questions at an appropriate time, and giving the speaker feedback all help the conversation. Interrupting, using your phone, or waiting silently until someone asks you a question can make communication less effective.
