An excellent point. You have to understand the information desired. RT @TaraRodden: A1 Active, attentive, engaged listening. #prodchat -
Active listening is so difficult. Tips? RT @TaraRodden: I sometime describe myself as a “professional listener.” #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden Letting go of the desire to respond or fix is so difficult for me. #prodchat
-
A1 @careertools / @managertools has some great podcasts that explain communication styles according to people’s DISC profiles #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden Interesting. I much prefer texting to email. It’s more immediate. #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden we should have a #prodchat on active listening.
-
@TaraRodden True, but I find that my emails are so short that people read them wrong too. #prodchat
-
A3 Couraging as @BreneBrown calls it. Being willing to step up, have the necessary conversations without delay. #prodchat -

-
@TaraRodden I know… :/ And when it starts to get silly, I pick up the phone. But it’s really not my first instinct anymore #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden those difficult conversations really have to be done face-to-face, don’t you think? #prodchat
-
+1 RT @TaraRodden: A4 Be as clear as possible from the start. Be thorough. Think it through well from the beginning. #prodchat
-
Short and sweet! MT @TaraRodden: Be as clear as possible from the start. Be thorough. Think it through well from the beginning. #prodchat

@alfombra06 Hi there! Great to see you here tonight! #prodchat
-
@alfombra06 Hi! Welcome! We’re talking about productive communication. #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden Sleepless in Vienna! Glad to have found you! #Prodchat -
@TaraRodden Point totally taken. The entire message has to be communicated, regardless. #prodchat
-
+1 RT @alfombra06 A4 i like to use bullet points in mails or other layout instruments to improve readability #Prodchat
-
We do too! RT “@alfombra06: A4 i like to use bullet points in mails or other layout instruments to improve readability #Prodchat“
-
LOL. I certainly try not to! RE @katgordon: People still make phone calls?! #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden I use Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. #prodchat -
.@katgordon Yes to phone for quick alignment. Hate long chats. You keep saying “say again” b/c bad connection #Prodchat
-
This so funny to me. I am on the phone or Skype all day. MT @katgordon People still make phone calls?! #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden I interviewed people all day as a journalist. That’s when I started disliking the phone. #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden After interviewing people all day, I didn’t want to chat after I got home from work. #prodchat
-
@katgordon I love Twitter chats! I’m not sure all of my followers love how much I love them. :/ #prodchat
-
Good one!! RT @alfombra06: A5 careful use of cc: in mail communication is an art. #prodchat
-
@TaraRodden that’s awesome. I guess talking is the most important part of my job. *blushes* #prodchat
-
Absolutely! Maybe we should eventually eliminate it? RT “@alfombra06: A5 careful use of cc: in mail communication is an art. #Prodchat“
-
@TaraRodden How to become a listener if ur talker by nature? #Prodchat
-
@katgordon Of course recipient has to know what eom means. 🙂 #prodchat -
Lol. I’m the opposite. RE @TaraRodden: I often get real chatty after a long day. All that not talking bottled up inside. #prodchat
-
Mars and Venus? RT @alfombra06: Q6 my husband!!! #Prodchat
-
-
Ah important! RT @rmcgahen: A6: Recruiters, hiring managers and CEOs. #prodchat #jobseeker #ineedajob
-
@alfombra06 Lots of practice coupled with a deep desire to learn. #prodchat
-
+1 Teehee. RT @alfombra06 Q6 my husband!!! #Prodchat
-
Great goal. RT @alfombra06: A6 I have the ambition of individualise my communication toward each of my employees #Prodchat
-
And now we’re even better friends! RT @TaraRodden: A7 Face to face, preferably over a nice glass of wine. #prodchat
-
Yes… sounds lovely. 🙂 I’m changing my answer to this. ;)RT @TaraRodden: A7 Face to face, preferably over a nice glass of wine. #prodchat
-
That’s a journalist’s secret weapon! RT @alfombra06: A8 silence #Prodchat
-
RT @AnnieFeighery: I’ve swapped about 90% of my email communication to Skype chat. No need for back-and-forths clogging the inbox. #prodchat
-
@alfombra06 Ah, but silence does a lot of heavy lifting! As a form of feedback, tho, not so good. #Prodchat
-
RT @AnnieFeighery: I’ve swapped about 90% of my email communication to Skype chat. No need for back-and-forths clogging the inbox. #prodchat
-
@AnnieFeighery Do you find that less e-mail has made you more productive? #prodchat
-
Bwahaha! RT @TaraRodden: A9 See my answer to Q7. Pinot noir. #prodchat
-
A10: I got excellent communication advice from The Power of Less by @leobabauta. #prodchat
-
@alfombra06 I think common sense is an excellent resource. Somewhat under used. #prodchat
