bad communicationIn this episode of the How to Be Happy Podcast, Emily and I sat down to discuss our experience on effective communication in relationships.

One of the best ways to become a great communicator is to know who you are and what you need.

What’s the difference between nagging and someone just not paying attention or listening? At some point, if you’re nagging, you have to realize that you’re putting expectations on the other person to make you happy.

Topics in this episode:

  • How to Develop Good Communication Skills (accidentally on purpose)
  • Gene Simmons Family Jewel’s
  • Kindness
  • Respect (listen to episode 015)
  • Timing
  • Honestly
  • Sarcasm
  • Anger
  • Expectations (listen to Episode #5)
  • The 90 Second Rule
