#WorkTrends Recap: Meaningful Communication’s Impact on Happiness and Morale
Meaningful communication has a dramatic impact on happiness and morale in all facets of life.
On this week’s #WorkTrends podcast and Twitter chat, our guest Mike Lindstrom discussed some powerful communication tips and tools to help you better understand the impact of your words on others.
We covered why engaging people around you on a deeper level actually triggers happiness in the brain and creates a strong rapport.
Here are a few key tips Mike shared:
- There’s a difference between hearing someone and listening to someone
- Listening to someone is being present
- Put down the phone and technology to be truly engaged
- Ask people about their “story” and don’t be afraid to go deep in conversations
