In this video, I share 5 signs that pride is showing up in the way you communicate.: transcript

Five things that show pride in communication. Number one, when people are talking to you and you pick up your phone and you don't apologize to them neither do you acknowledge. You just pick up the phone. Number two, when people are speaking and you're not looking at them. Either you're looking away or you greet a person and you're not looking at them. To some degree it shows ego and pride in communication. Number three, when you interrupt people. When they are saying something and then you override them with your point and say, "Yeah, in fact in fact I had this thing." And then number four, acknowledging instead of acknowledging someone has said something powerful you use words like quite, words like though, words like but. So you're saying thank you and then you say, "Well, I've learned quite some lessons." instead of saying, "I've learned some I've learned a lot of lessons." Trying to diminish what people have done. Then number five is not acknowledging people's titles or people's achievement. Let's say you meet a professor and you call them Henry instead of [music] Professor Henry.

Learning to acknowledge people's titles is very important. It can show ego or to some degree you don't take them seriously. There's a lady who Tony Elumelu was speaking somewhere and he called Mr. Elumelu called him Tony and Mr. and Mr. Elumelu got angry. Said, "You've called me Tony. Don't call me such." Acknowledging titles is very important in any context especially when you're talking in executive rooms.
