Birds of a feather flock collectively…
Communication is one thing that for probably the most half we take without any consideration. Most people unconsciously assume that because they can communicate and pay attention they're perfectly adequate communicators, and for essentially the most part that's probably true enough. Nonetheless, communicating beneath normal circumstances with people we know is relatively straightforward and poses no great problem for anyone, although, even underneath these circumstances misunderstanding, confusion and even disagreement is possible. However what about these times when communication is de facto vital to our success, happiness, private satisfaction or the necessity to overcome private adversity or problem of some sort? That's after we really need to speak properly, even masterfully to realize an consequence that is necessary and even essential to our future.
The problem with communication is that most individuals actually think that they're good at it. In my communication seminars I exploit an train that, while actually simple, finds even good communicators misplaced for phrases and it reveals simply how complex communication actually is as a result of it's more than simply being able to string two sentences collectively. Actually effective communication is like the coming collectively of sheet music within the arms of an orchestra, all neatly choreographed through the movements of the conductor’s baton. Extremely effective communication requires a mixture of abilities and necessitates proficiency in all of them. Great communication will not be about opening one’s mouth and allowing the words to circulation out like spilled water from a jug. Great communication is about thought, consideration, listening, empathy, reiteration, confirmation, compromise and agreement, all spun together in an internet of equal strands all connecting with both parties.
In other words communication is an equal two-way course of that requires everybody to participate equally in attaining an outcome that equally satisfies or caters for the wants of all concerned. I consider that there is a one to one relationship between speaking and listening and any communication (outside of counselling maybe) that is unequal in these facets will turn out to be extra unequal in different methods too over time. Let’s face it, few individuals are all in favour of being the listener all the time and few are enthusiastic about being the only talker either. I say few because I have truly met two individuals in my lifetime who could truly spend a complete night speaking, never as soon as worrying about listening to anybody else. They were superb individuals as a result of they actually had the unusual and debatable ability of opening their mouth and not stopping for hours. From a professional standpoint I found them fascinating, albeit tedious too after an hour or so of listening patiently. To this present day I stand in awe of their ability to seek out so many alternative issues to speak about and string them all collectively nearly unnoticeable like a the merging in and out of two fully completely different pieces of music. Regardless of your viewpoint, that is an incredible talent.
