I recently had the opportunity to listen to Herb Sendek at the Nike Clinic in Las Vegas. He said he was fascinated with the art of communication. Here are a few of his thoughts:
1. We have to understand how it impacts our lives.
2. We are always communicating.
3. If we are always communicating, we must live our lives in a state of awareness.
4. We can speak loudly through a whisper.
5. To communicate with our team, we must know the "pulse of the moment."
6. To be aware--we must listen and see.
7. Information can come from unconventional sources.
8. Information can come from anywhere, if you're listening.
9. What are your players hearing from other people.
10. Make sure everybody is singing the same song.
11. Listen to what someone doesn't say.
12. Often, the less we say, the better we sound.
