Here are 5 communication mistakes that could be hurting your career:
1. You react instead of respond
When you react, you're seeing things only from your POV & how you feel in that instant.
Responding involves pausing, reflecting on the situation & consider their POV. It shows that you respect and care about what they have to say & how they feel.

2. You are uncomfortable with silence
Constantly filling in silence has a lot of downfalls:
• You aren't reflecting on the conversation

4. You struggle to change your mind
it's hard to work with an individual that fails to change their mind when presented with new information.

5. You aren't recognizing the other person's context
