[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would advise listening more. Don't change your delivery: smiling more and talking softly will appear cloying and insincere. Just take the time to listen and make people feel that their opinions mean something to you. People will really respect you for that and learn to appreciate your directness. [/quote]

I agree.  Be inclusive.  Listen and solicit input genuinely.  Don't just bark orders.[/quote]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I don't bark orders. In fact I stay away from telling people what to do altogether. [b]However, I don't mind sharing an opinion or feedback if asked.[/b] [/quote]

That's from  your perspective. As you boss already indicated, from listeners' perspective, that's not how it's received.

I don't understand how giving an opinion about something is wrong if I'm asked for my opinion. [/quote]

Op, it's not [b]what [/b] you say, it's [b]how[/b] you say it. Most guys don't like "in your face" response (particularly from a woman) because it's uncomfortable to deal with. [/quote]

OP here. I agree with this. I guess I just need to work on how I say things...when they just flow from my head out of my mouth, they're direct and not sugar coated. I think it's a response to being really turned off by professionals who beat around the bush and just don't deliver the message they are trying to convey. I'm really going to try to pause and think about how to phrase something before it comes out of my mouth.[/quote]
