Check Out These Tips For Better Communication - Jennifer Cairns, Founder Lady Rebel Club®

Judge an individual on their productivity
and not on the presentation of the
information.
Use a system of agreed reminders and
reviews to help keep projects and tasks
on track.
Speak directly to someone rather than
through their companion or interpreter
unless asked.
Identify yourself if meeting with someone
with a visual impairment, and remember
to describe yourself if they don't know. It
is also ideal for identifying the person
you're speaking to.
Remember, cameras off during online
meetings or calls don't mean they are less
interested or involved.
Lack of eye contact or prolonged eye
contact doesn't mean a lack of interest,
confidence, or nervousness.
Someone fidgeting doesn't mean they're
not listening or focusing.
Language is personal.
One person may prefer, "I am
Autistic.".
Another may prefer, "I have
Autism.".
These are personal choices,
and we should always
respect them and do our best
to
use
their
preferred
language when addressing
them or talking about them.
We should not judge others
based on our preferences,
just as we ask others not to
judge us.
Someone taking longer to reply doesn't
mean they need to know the information
or aren't confident about it.
