moving onto
the points of

10. Unless someone
hears what you
have to say, there
is no
communication
You do not
communicate with
just words, the
whole person that
you are comes with
them
Talk to people in
terms of their
own experience
and they will
listen to you
When you have difficulty
in getting through to
people, it is a sign that your
own communication and
thinking is confused, not
theirs
When you fail to
communicate it is
not the words that
need straightening
out, it is the
thoughts behind
them
Know what your
listener expects to
see and hear
before you start
to talk
