Great Communication - Part 1 - Bad Paralanguage: Watch Your TONE!

Great Communication is a package deal. It's not only what you say when you are speaking but How you speak your words. Some of my biggest communication failures happened because of my Paralanguage. The jpeg says it all, "HOW I RUINED MY NEWS MANAGEMENT CAREER - PARALANGUAGE MISTAKES."

Here is the definition of Paralanguage from YourDictionary.com

"Paralanguage is nonverbal communication such as your tone, pitch, or manner of speaking. An example of paralanguage is the pitch of your voice. ... such as tone of voice, laughter, and, sometimes, gestures and facial expressions that accompany speech and convey further meaning."

My Podcast goals are to help all of you learn from my communication mistakes.  This episode of One-On-One is the first of a Five-Part Series examining my big Comms. Blunders. I share my horribly stupid paralanguage mistakes in front of Broadcast Corporate Managers.
