Effective Communication at Your Property | INNsider Tips-042

Welcome to INNsider Tips.

In today’s INNsider Tip, I will talk about Effective Communication at Your Property.

Communication is something we do automatically- like breathing. We have been talking since we were small; talk to our partners, kids, and friends without giving it a thought.

It might seem easy, but communicating efficiently actually takes quite a bit of skill.

Choosing the right words, listening with our minds instead of just our ears, and getting our message across are skills that we all need to work on.

When at home or with friends, not finding the appropriate words or miscommunication can lead to problems or even arguments.

At work, the results could be much worse.

Unenthusiastic employees, poor productivity, and even legal issues can be the result of bad communication skills.

This does not have to be an issue at your property if you incorporate a few changes to your communications practices.

Since the end of the last century, many companies have become dependent on e-mail or texts as their primary source of communication with colleagues and outside clients.

Many of us have become so reliant on our computers and smartphones that we’ve neglected the art of conversation, but unfortunately for many, the desire for speed has almost created a whole new language of short sentences and abbreviations.

When speaking to someone face to face, a conversation is more than the words themselves. It’s the tone of voice, facial expressions and body language.

Take body gestures and smiles out of the equation, and recipients can easily get the wrong idea, especially when the sender isn’t the most coherent writer.

Take the time to practice the art of speaking.

That is it for today’s INNsider Tip.
