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.
