    Hi Linda.
    In elementary school, when teachers thought I couldn't speak and saw a speech therapist who knew I can talk regardless of a mild stutter problem proved them wrong. I always have trouble making conversations with people that led to some violence because if I don't have the right hearer, the peaceful conversation won't exist.
    P.S. I'm real good at anticipating the other person to get a sense of their vision. I have to think before I speak and the words don't flow out of me. I use a recorder to practice explaining my vision verbally where nobody can cut me off. Your voice is rich and your very beautiful.

    i believe in these action steps for improving communication skills i.e. 1. Listening carefully 2. Start with saying supporting phrases followed by 3. telling the experience u had, or stories in terms of STAR, is an acronym for Situation, Time, Action, and Result 4. Practice. this also works for answering job/ career interview question, like tell me about your self, why u r qualified for this role (STAR) etc.

    The single most awkward situation is entering s room of people that you don't know and u are trying to adjust to them. Its the most difficult situation to be in becoz of the fact we don't know the ppl and we hesitate to be judged. We need to overcome that thinking and just be open to others. ❤
