If you want to be a communication Rockstar you've got to start using this simple three-word phrase. "Tell me more." When you ask someone to tell you more, about themselves, their idea, their opinion-it opens the door for a much richer and more productive conversation. Tell me more…is one of the quickest ways to help you avoid assuming. It helps avoid misunderstandings because let's face it, we don't always understand people the first, second, or even third time they explain something to us.

Asking for more helps us gain clarity around what another person thinks and feels, and it shows that you really care about what the other person has to say.
