LOST IN TRANSLATION!
When I experience these kinds of situations it feels/sounds something like this: "I know you think you heard what you thought I said, but what you think you heard me say isn't exactly what I meant - I think!" It's the "lost in translation" cycle, right?
Being a good communicator has little or not to do with if we can talk well; the real issue is: Can I speak YOUR language? According to http://www.ethnologue.com/, as of 2009 there are currently 6,909 recorded, distinguishable languages in the world! That is a staggering thought. One North American who was asked how many languages he thought there were in the world replied: "Probably several hundred"! Ya think! I probably would have guessed under 1,000 myself.
Well, I have good news! In the real world of 'communication' - regardless what ethnic language(s) we speak - there are just seven (yes, 7) communication languages! And to make it even better, every person in the world speaks all 7 communication languages from strength to weakness. That means that IF we learn just a few very simple facts about each of these 7 communication languages, there is NO ONE with whom we cannot communicate and do so effectively! Granted there are more things that come with the mix, but essentially - it is WAY more simple than we ever imagined.
Thousands have discovered the simplicity of the communication languages and their effectiveness in real life, every day. I just met with a client this morning who said: "I don't refer you to my colleagues just because I like you. I refer you because this information helps me do what I do....every day!" It's helped her, her family and her staff for over 10 years.
The communication languages are simple to learn. I call them 'organic to life'. The information 'gets in you' and starts working. If you choose to check this out, this is what I can guarantee: it will be the last workshop you will ever need to attend to have excellent, effective communication for your life, your family life, or even your organization. Oh! You don't like going to workshops? Ok! You can get this information in a multitude of ways!
So, fellow Earth travelers, if you have anyone in your life with whom you find it challenging to downright 'impossible' to communicate with, you are going to be pleasantly surprised! I make communication simple and effective for people! How? Shout out to me and let's 'talk' about it and get freed us from the 'lost in translation' cycle.
