Communicate - To share, give information and exchange messages.
Webster's Dictionary makes communication sound so simplistic and in theory it should be. Yet when we add in attitudes, language, personality types, cultural diversity, emotions, perspectives, up bringing, and
intentions, communication is far more complex then the definition Webster's can supply.
Those that understand and can utilize the principles of communication
will always have the advantage. Those who are baffled by its complexity may find it a burden, feel misunderstood, confused, or lack in trust
Some of the challenges in communication are
- Poor listening skills
- Not realizing people have different speaking styles
- Not having defined the purpose for the communication
- Not having an outcome
- No common ground to begin the communication
- Resistance
- Wanting to be right instead of seeking resolution
- Not realizing the importance of the communication to others
Communication is a multi-tiered process. You must
possess a resourceful frame of mind, have an elevated awareness level, utilize influential of language and understand of nonverbal communication. Combining these allows for insight, stability, skill and congruency.
Unless you isolate yourself, there is no way to avoid this dance we engage in each day.
