3 Habits of Super Communicators!

Are there certain key habits that super communicators are consistently putting into play and practice? There's 3 habits in particular that we know super communicators use and that all of us can develop as habits with a little bit of practice. The first is what I mentioned about asking deep questions, finding opportunities to ask people not about the facts of their life, but about how they feel about their life. The second habit is proving that we're listening. So the way you prove that you're listening is what you do after they stop talking. And there's a technique for this in particular that's known as looping for understanding and has 3 steps. The first step is ask a question, preferably a deep question. The second step is that when someone has responded to that question, repeat back what you heard them say in your own words. Show them you were paying attention. Show them you're processing it. And then this third step, ask if you got it right. And then there's one more other habit, which is showing people that we want to connect with them. It can be as simple as laughter or asking follow-up questions. That's really what super communicators do. They show you they want to connect, and that's the first and most important step.
