Communication Champions

　 Training Seminars
　By Debra J. Schmidt,
　“The Loyalty Leader”
　Eighty-five percent of your career success is in direct proportion to your communications skills. Due to heavy workloads, short staffing and multi-tasking, many of us have become poor communicators. We pretend we’re listening, but in reality, we miss a lot of what is being said to us. We can build much stronger customer and co-worker relationships by improving our communication skills.
　 Sometimes in our desire to handle workplace conversations as quickly as possible, we neglect the use of common acknowledgments as we communicate. Yet the few extra seconds it takes to add them is well worth the time. If we simply focus on getting the task done and rush through internal and external service requests, we miss tremendous opportunities to build loyalty.
