In fact, your communications need to address those differences as much as possible. If you're preparing a presentation, make sure that you appreciate that people have different learning styles, and that you cater for these. This means that everyone – from those who learn best by reading to those who prefer a more hands-on approach – can benefit from your session.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot] Mistake 8: Not Keeping an Open Mind When Meeting New People[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Today's workplace is a melting pot of ethnicities, religions, ages, sexual orientations, and viewpoints. These differences create a rich tapestry of experiences and opinions that greatly enhance our lives. However, it can be tempting to stereotype new colleagues or clients, or to make assumptions about them based on just a few pieces of information. This is especially true if you haven't had much time to get to know them well.Assumptions inhibit open communication, because you don't consider the other person's own unique background, personality, and experience. Over time, this can jeopardize your relationship with them.So, set time aside to listen when you meet someone new. Give them space to talk about their viewpoints, and take time to absorb these.Then, learn how to manage cultural differences, so that you take each person's needs and expectations into consideration. If you often work with people from overseas, explore the idea of cultural intelligence, so that you can start to adapt your behavior when you come across people from different cultures.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]Mistake 9: Assuming That Your Message has Been Understood[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]Always take time to check that people have understood your message.For example, when you send out an email, you could encourage people to respond with questions, or to reply if they haven't understood part of your message.
