Communicate with Power

In your communications with others, there are five goals that you want to accomplish:

1. You want people to like and respect you.
   
2. You want people to recognize that you are valuable and important.
   
3. You want to be able to persuade people to accept your point of view.
   
4. You want to get people to change their minds and to cooperate with you in
   achieving your goals.
   
5. Overall, you want to be more personally powerful and influential in all your
   relationships, personal and business.
   

Remember that communication has a lot to do with how you make people feel when you deliver your message.
