Stanford University School of Business conducted a study that monitored a group of MBAs 10 years after graduation. What did they learn? That their ability to converse had a huge impact on their success and grade point averages had no bearing whatsoever.The ability to connect with others through small talk can lead to big things, according to Debra Fine, author of The Fine Art of Small Talk (

People are always on the lookout for good conversationalists. You might not think yourself as a very eloquent person; but by asking excellent conversation questions, no one will be the wise.Excellent conversation questions keep the energy going. Without it, there will only be awkward silence - something you do not really want to experience. To help give you some ideas on what to ask, here are

When you hear about men being from Mars and women being from Venus, what you're often hearing is that women like to talk and communicate while men prefer not to. It's one of the most fundamental differences between the sexes - and it's the one that drives the most people crazy."All she wants to do is talk about our 'feelings'!" men will complain to their friends. Meanwhile, women complain to

If we treat learning how to handle specific communication situations as a motor skill, can we use our imagination to improve our relationships?Alvaro Pascual-Leone, a neurologist at Harvard, has demonstrated that piano players using mental practice improve their performance more than those not practicing at all. In fact, according to neuroscientists Robert Zatorre and Andrea Halpern, when

Question:Tell me what do you do, or what is your reaction, when people you know do not greet you or pretend not to notice you. You sometimes feel hurt when you either greet a person and they do not greet back, as if they have not seen you, OR they do not even look at you whilst passing or standing in a public place.I sometimes feel resentful and decide that I will never greet such people again. I

A national Australian magazine recently announced the top 100 most hated people. These strange surveys are conducted in many different areas such as on sports stars and actors and are in many different countries.My only thought as to why these type of surveys are done is for a good laugh. Well, this particular survey certainly did that to me.I'm sorry I couldn't find the official list I'm

We are blind.I'm not talking about being physically blind but something called "perceptually blind".We all have perceptions. Your perception is your understanding of what you see and hear. This means your perceptions are different to others as your understanding differs from theirs.Perceptions can be nasty little things. What they do is filter out things in what we see and hear. Something may

Here's a Earthling Communication first. A video!This video is primarly for teens who are having trouble talking to their parents. It is also helpful for parents with teenagers.I think the teenage years are the most difficult in life as you make that step from childhood to adulthood, you seek to find where you fit in, and you begin to become your own person.There needs to be effective, healthy

I want to firstly clear up a major parenting misconception. There is no one right way to raise a child. As with buying a car, becoming friends with your neighbours, or hanging out your clothes to dry, there is no one correct style you need to use for raising a healthy-minded child.There a typically four parenting styles based on parenting research:low love/low limitslow love/high limitshigh love/

Ever wondered how to be interesting? You may think the answer is to bamboozal people with the latest news, an unknown fact, or being spontaneous.The thing is, these are interesting but it does not make YOU interesting. Saying an amazing fact doesn't make people interested in you. So what makes a person truly interesting?It's not giving worded messages to people but it's taking the other person's

What will you talk about today that you've been putting off for a while?Open your mind and eyes to what you've been worried about this past week. You have the right and the need to talk about it. Don't hope it will disappear or solve itself. Take control and responsibility in your life.If you continue to put it off, it may be one of those things that just go away, but if not, it will continue

Procrastination is the state of mind you are in when you have the intention to do something but you do nothing. It is evil. It is the primary reason why so many people fail with improving their relationships or any goal in general. I'm not just talking about sitting at your desk dreaming and not achieving anything. I'm talking about anything.When procrastinating, you intend to do something but

Whoever thinks that they do not need to improve their communication ought to be spanked by every person they have ever encountered. They should be forced to swim to antartica in some speedos or a bikini.There is something about improving your communication skills that people see as unnecessary and stupid. They have a narrow focus of what can be learnt and what they already know.The two prime

You're at this site for one reason. So let me ask you, why do you want to improve your communication skills? What started that desire? Many people begin learning about communication as a result of not wanting to have arguments. They are tired of fighting with family or business collegues over matters that mean nothing.How many times have you argued about what t.v. show you want to watch? What

Today on the 21st March is Harmony Day for Australians. It's the 1 day out of 365 where Aussies are expected to get along in a friendly manner. The other days are all left to drunken mateship. To live in harmony for just 1 single day is hard enough for anyone. Which brings me to a funny little story.Three years ago, a student at our local high school was being bullied and laughed at by fellow

Last night at work, one my lady co-workers started talking about how she has conversations with friends over the phone. She said that if her husband was sitting beside her, he would become curious as to what she and her friend were talking about over the phone.After she had finished talking to her friend, her husband would inquire as to what all that "yes", "I see" and "okay" was all about.

Welcome to EarthlingCommunication.com's blog launch. What a red ribbon opening it was. I planned to have President George Bush at the launch but he had to miss out due to a last minute call concerning something apparently "more important". Also, we were almost fortunate enough to have Harry Houdini but he disappeared.It was a great party nonetheless and I hope you are just as excited as me to
