Mirror, Mirror!!

How we communicate with our coworkers, hiring managers and candidates will impact our ability to do our job. The question is how do we do it, how do we communicate with all those people with all those different personalities and communication styles.

Well it is very simple, You mirror the person you are talking to. Meaning you mimic their rate of speech, and their style of speech. If they talk slower than you normally do, you slow it down, if faster speed it up. You do this and all the while listen to get a feel for their thought style. Meaning are they all about the facts, are they all about touchy/feely. Once you figure it out you know how to talk with them, and life and work become easier. However keep in mind this tip also applied to anyone you speak to, work, play, home or anyplace.
