My thoughts -communication

I can improve my communication with others by
- Actively listening and given my whole focus to those speaking
- Paraphrase ensure I have understood by paraphrasing to the speaker
- Check on understanding, ask when speaking that listener has understood what I have said before moving on.
- Attitudes and opinions, be aware that there are no prejudicial attitudes and thoughts operating that may prevent me from listening clearly to the message.
- Personal space, we all have different levels of personal space, people will often signal there discomfort with personal space through body language, if body language is uncomfortable it may be that I am too close in the persons, personal space.
