How does Business
NetWorking relate to workplace violence? Easy,
if you followed a lot of the advice given here and applied it to your co-workers
in the office everyone would get along better.
First and
foremost, your behavior in NetWorking is to always give the other person the
feeling you respect them, are interested in what they have to say, and they
matter to you... All in all not a
bad way to treat folks or to be treated.
I can guarantee
you that when one person goes off on another person they most certainly have
stopped respecting them.
Secondly,
NetWorking is about learning to communicate.
Not just to talk, but to listen and understand.
And when you do talk, to make sure you are understood.
Good communication helps everything.
From Business NetWorking to getting along with co-workers, to even just
making your personal relationships better.
So, good
NetWorking skills make for good life skills?
You bet they do. Think about
it. Treating others with a feeling
of respect. Being a good
communicator not just in listening and understanding, but also in conveying your
point(s).
Lets face it.
Doing the above is never a negative or bad thing to do.
If you think you don't have those skills, or just want to make sure you
do, check out some back issues of this column.
You can also surf
the net for information on good communication skills.
Some of the
sites I have found are as follows:
This sit actually
test your communication skills.

This is the site
of ToastMasters International. As
they say "
For Better Listening, Thinking, Speaking".
And lastly, this
is a web site that offers links to sites that deal in Communication Skills.

In addition to
surfing the web for information, please take a look at your local Community
Collage. You will find classes on
such things as public speaking, and communication, etc. So, get out there and
communicate!
