This is worth trying when
you don't understand what
someone is feeling. You're
able to read people's
emotions better when
you listen and don't look.

FIRE UP YOUR XBOX
Despite their reputation,
regularly playing video games
can improve a student's
resourcefulness, adaptability
and communication skills.
Modern games often involve
problem-solving which need
the kind of collaboration that
helps people perform better
in higher education facilities.

KNOW YOUR
AUDIENCE
When working in a team with
gender lines, using text
instead of face-to-face
communication is far worse
at sharing knowledge and
turning that information into
decision making. In other
words, talk is far from
cheap when there's an equal
mix of men and women in a
group. For the best results,
choose words not print outs.

THINK POSITIVE
A positive attitude means
more than keeping a smile on
your face. Communicating
with people while thinking
positive thoughts broadens
your sense of possibility and
open your thought processes
up to more options.

ENCOURAGE LESS TO
MOTIVATE MORE
In an exercise setting, having
a workout partner who is the
strong silent type can be
hugely motivational. When a
task is physically demanding
leading by example and just
mucking in are the best ways
to maximise results.
