Communication Breakdown To Communication Breakthrough!
You can be a master of communication if you really want it.
“Outside of your awareness, outside of your control.”
Sometimes you think that you are a great communicator because you have the gift of the gab, and you can talk a lot. Hmmm…
Yes, on some level you just may be a great communicator.
This can also be an illusion, your illusion. Usually, those that are talking a lot are oblivious to all the other communication cues coming from the person in front of them.
Have you ever had a conversation with a work colleague or friend, and it all went wrong? It didn’t matter how many times you repeated yourself, they just didn’t get the message?
You’re thinking to yourself, what’s wrong with this person, what I’m saying, it’s so clear!
When we communicate with another person, we inevitably use our own style of communication. We communicate a certain way, so we think everyone else is the same. Therein lies the problem.
When we are communicating with another person our first job is to observe and identify their preferred style of communication. How are they showing up and expressing themselves?
