Effective Communication

It’s easy to assume that what you are trying to tell the other person is what they hear and understand. Unfortunately, this is not always true.
 
Imagine you have sent what you think is a clear email to someone, and the other person completely misinterpreted what you wanted to say. Effective communication is not about the words you choose; it is ultimately all about the meaning that lands.
 
The key is to focus on the receiver. If the words you say or write to convey your message do not connect, the communication gap is at your end, not at the receiver’s. You need to figure out a new way to express your thoughts.
 
Effective communication is when there is no gap between what you are trying to convey and what the other person understands.
