It seems your message got cut off—you mentioned "How To Become A Communication Genius - 49 Simpl..." — but I don’t have the full title or author name. I’m guessing you’re referring to a book or course like or something similar.

In any given conversation, aim to listen 70% of the time and speak only 30% of the time. This is counter-intuitive for those who believe "communication" means "talking." By listening more, you gather more data, allowing you to give a more targeted, insightful response when you finally do speak.

Before you speak, ask yourself: Does this add value, or just noise? If you can't answer "So what?" in 6 seconds, don't say it.

Don't just listen to the words. "It sounds like you're not just angry—you're actually feeling left out. Is that right?" Deep empathy wins.

It is the easiest way to demonstrate a positive attitude.
