Communication: Email
Give before you ask

You've heard the saying, "It's better to give than to receive." Well, this communications tip is a bit of a variation.

When you want something from someone, it's always better to "give" before "asking". Of course, it's not always possible, but think about it.

Let's say you want information on an ongoing project. Sure, you could just ask, and that will work. But if you preface your request by sharing a bit of information, you'll communicate respect and an openness that others appreciate it.

For instance, "I am trying to plan my week. Would you share your ideas on the project?"

The gift doesn't have to be tangible or big. In the example, it's the purpose of your request that you're presenting to someone. People like that!

The more you give, the better your responses will be when you ask for something.
