7 Deadly Sin of Speaking by Julian Treasure "The Human Voice, is the Instrument We All Play. It's the Most Powerful Sound in the World. It's the only one that Could start a War, or say 'I love you'. And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. " Working as a mediator, A sales person was a journey for me. One things for sure, it thought be about a lot of things, Learning from my past mistakes made me move forward and still, at least trying my best to practice them as much as I can. But hey you might wanna learn a thing or two about speaking publicly. One thing I've learned from my sales training is to never repeat the same mistakes over. Identify the objections and learn to handle them well. Accepting that we all have flaws and will never be perfect, can hone us on a whole new level. That is called 'Growth'. And these 7 Deadly Sins Are 'Habits' We should stay away from. 1. GOSSIP, Speaking Ill of Somebody who's not Present. Respect begets respect and I'll leave it at that. 2. JUDGING, It's very hard to listen to a person if you know you're being judged and found wanting at the same time. So what if some body is at mess or doing things you're not accustomed to, and I'm sure wouldn't want to be judged back as you would do. 3. NEGATIVITY, it's such a buzz kill to listen to, the world is bad enough to focus on purely negativity, life is has another face of it. It's like trying to want something that doesn't exist and there is always a way to achieve it. but not this way 4. COMPLAINING, so as another form of #3, when by complaining you already know the exact answer to the question and solution to what we're complaining about. it's such a viral misery. 5. EXCUSES, We've all seen this person before, or prolly we have been this person. The 'Blame thrower', passing it all to everybody else, but hard to point it a back at ourselves just to not to take responsibility. 6. LYING, This is just so hard to do and become if I speak for my self in my right mind. Authenticity will always be everything. the embroidery and alteration of what is real is just a chaotic way of life. 7. DOGMATISM, The Conflation of Facts and Opinion, I believe we all have individually have different experiences in our lives and through this, being an adult, we have develop our 'Way' for ourselves. most of the time 'outside factors' are confusing as with there own ideologies of their own facts of life. Now, you may say I just did #7 on the last few words in it. but this is not a professional advise, or me belittling anybody, and or thinking any one is lesser than I, but this is just a suggestion for a better to live life, and have better connection with anyone. This is the 'other side' of the road if you are doing the things that are listed, or if the nature of your work is the same as I am, this was helpful to me, maybe it might help yours. My only goal is to make the World a better place were we all can co-exist, and become better for everyone's peace of mind. Cheerios! 🍻
