Last week we gave you three New Year\u2019s Resolutions to help you take your communication skills to the next level. This week we help you start 2019 on the right foot with three more essential communication resolutions. Check them out below. <span id="gmail-more-3070" style="box-sizing:border-box"></span></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;word-break:break-word;margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb(94,94,94);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(45,45,45)"><em style="box-sizing:border-box"><b>Sharpen Your Listening Skills</b>: </em></span>Communication is a two-way street, and effective listening can make or break an interaction. Don\u2019t simply wait for your turn to speak. Show that you value what the other person has to say by giving them your full attention and using effective body language. Make eye contact, face the speaker with your whole body, and occasionally acknowledge their speech with non-verbal gestures like nodding when appropriate. Also, resist the urge to glance at your phone for any reason. It gives the impression that you\u2019re bored, impatient, or not fully invested in the conversation.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;word-break:break-word;margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb(94,94,94);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(45,45,45)"><em style="box-sizing:border-box"><b>Commit to Clarity</b>:</em></span> It doesn\u2019t matter how remarkable your ideas may be if your listener can\u2019t understand you! Mumbling, dropping sounds, and running your words together not only makes it difficult for your listener to understand your speech, it makes you sound unprofessional. Be sure to pronounce each and every sound of every word. Be especially careful with consonants at the end of a word.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;word-break:break-word;margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb(94,94,94);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(45,45,45)"><em style="box-sizing:border-box"><b>Develop a Dynamic Voice</b>:</em></span> The quality of your voice can have an enormous impact on how others view you and receive your message. The foundation of a strong, dynamic voice is effective breathing. For the best breath support, breathe from your abdomen, not your chest. Practice controlling how quickly you release your breath as you speak. The key to improving your breath support is awareness, so take the time to notice how you breathe and where your air is coming from.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;word-break:break-word;margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb(94,94,94);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><b><i>If private training is not for you, check our our group training program tomorrow night - January 9th at 6PM.
