How can you improve your communication skills in minutes?

Slow down.

Seriously, that's it. Just slow down. This gives you the opportunity to really listen to the other and to think about your reply.

I have worked for years with organisations and companies, helping them with neurodiversity among the workforce. Time and again, it turns out that communicating with any kind of awareness is three quarters of what's needed.

Most everyone processes language and other signals on autopilot and get out of sorts when they get into they can't handle effortlessly. The result is snap judgments and misunderstanding.

So slow down. Take the time.

I will guarantee you that this helps. Well, up to a point.
