Speak Clearly and Listen

Motivational Power Quote

Speak Clearly and Listen

“Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word

before you let them fall.”

Oliver Wendall Homes 1809 - 1884, America Physician,

Poet, Professor, Lecturer, Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Speak Cleary and Listen

For those who speak clearly will be understood . . . .

Those that listen will understand . . . .

When you’re listening you are fully engaging the speaker.

A proactive listener will draw the person into the conversation with their listening skills. The more you listen. . . . the more information you will gather and the better you will understand what the speaker is saying.

Information and knowledge does not come from speaking . . . . it comes a result of listening with the goal to hear and fully understand the speaker.

When you speak . . . . speak clearly . . . . and speak with a purpose.

Ask questions to draw a person into the conversation . . . . and listen to their response. In their response is a wealth of information that you will only hear when you’re listening.

The listeners are the most effective negotiators, the most successful sales professionals . . . . and develop the most successful and lasting relationships.

Speak clearly and listen . . . . choose your words carefully and listen with the intention of understanding.
