LG Electronics MBA 9120 manual Own Communication style

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.
