Quick Tip: Repeat What You Just Heard

One of the fundamentals of becoming a great communicator is best explained in the classic book How to Win Friends and Influence People.

The most important skill in that book is listening… and then rephrasing what you just heard back to the other guy.

This proves that you listened… and processed what you heard. And it will astonish anyone you do it with… because nobody else is listening at all. They’re just waiting impatiently until they can interrupt to stress their point, regardless of what the other guy has said.

Testimonials

  • Michael,

    You have added another dimension to wealth! Women’s magazines with their glossy ads and decorating themes evoke some of the feelings you speak of; however, they are just photos of that lifestyle at best. We look at and enjoy them, but we don’t adapt that lifestyle and the majority of us never will.

    Your article may change that if we take your recommendations seriously. I see great potential in this statement: “The feeling of wealth for me now has three elements: tranquility, safety, and emotional or intellectual enrichment.”

    I will make every effort to incorporate the three elements into my daily life. Thank you for another perspective!
