POWERFUL COMMUNICATION SKILLS

THAT GETS RESULTS

Janice D. Ramirez

“Who… said what… in what way… to whom…with what

effect?”

Research indicated that “we hear half

of what is said, listen to half of what we hear, understand, believe and

remember only half of that”.

In an eight hour work day; We spend about 4 hours listening; We hear about 2 hours worth; We actually listen to 1 hours worth; We understand 30 minutes of that

hour; We believe only 15 minutes worth;

and We remember just under 8 minutes

worth.
