Own Communication style:
Everyone must develop their own communication style. As we grow, over the years, we are encouraged or
discouraged in ways in which to communicate. It is only when we are able to objectively judge ourselves in
a quest for betterment that we truly can shed much of what we have been told and find what we truly
believe. This is easier said than done, but it is possible. A mentoring figure at work, or an author, or a
relative can be someone we admire and emulate; however, this is only really constructive if we incorporate
ourselves in the largest part of the mix. We cannot become someone else, but they can help us become
better communicators—in this instance. There are many classrooms, books, and interactive DVDs that aim
to teach better communication skills. Some people try to analyze each and every movement of someone
eye’s, voice, etc. and I find this to be de-constructive. If you are always searching to apply meaning to
everything, you are not really listening. The key fact to remember is that communication takes place
between two or more people and it is not one-sided, nor does it [the interpretation] always have only one
meaning.
