What can I do even better, more efficiently, differently and

more effectively?

It will make you think about the effectiveness of both strong

and weak sides of your communication, each and every day.

did I do wrong?” It is, “What can I do even better, more

simply, differently and more effectively to improve my

communication with other people?”

improving the quality of your life.

The first steps of this journey are: awareness (knowledge of

your strong and weak points—what to improve, what not to do

and what to show) and motivation. The bad news is only you
