Dear Stroke community, with the Festive Season approaching I hope you'll find the time to rest, reflect and spend the time with people dear to your heart.
For my part, I hope to be able to laugh more, have my family safe and healthy and stop being too hard on myself - learning to let go... of bad habits!
Take care.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your end of year message. It's a good thing to have made continuing connections who I can say a genuine hi to.
Stay well, listen to some great music, read interesting stories, be with people who lift you up and take care of you!
Cheers
Sue
Thank you Sue!
For me, I am going to work on listening better. 👍👍
Dear Diana, they say that listening is a skil. I often find myself not listening to other people. Listening does take a bit of effort. Take care!
Have you heard of Celeste Headley? Check out her 10 suggestions for better communication - Ted talk.
Thanks. I'll look at it. Take care.
Interesting topic would be how to listen effectively, when one has a cognitive disability (short-term memory deficiency). M
Hi Michael, that would be an interesting topic. Should we write a blog about it? I am not sure if there is research into it.
Good point Diana. I've come across a few books talking about it, but nothing specific. I recall reading 'Emotional Intelligence' for example. Also, research into the differences between men and women. Men communicate differently compared to women. In the business world, men tend to communicate to express a position of power, whereas women communicate to create working relationships. Interesting topic.
