Our ability to communicate to nearly any part of the world in seconds or a minute or two is extraordinary. At the click of a mouse or the press of a button on a mobile we can see, hear and write to whom we wish. The technology is fantastic, however, has our ability to express ourselves quickly and accurately matched the speed of and advances in technology?
From my experience helping people improve their communication in different situations depends on their ability to take control of themselves by using some basic techniques, skills, a little practise and listening to others speak.
It also depends on understanding the different communication environments we find ourselves in.
Environments such as:
- In teams
- At Work
- In Business
- While Networking
- Working with Media
- On the Net
- Presenting Speeches
- With Friends
- With Partners and even strangers.
Each environment is different, which employ the same basic principles, but need to be applied differently.
We also communicate for different reasons – to make people laugh, to court or hook up, to be angry, to convince, to story tell, to sympathises, to scold, and a lot of other reasons.
Over the next few months there will be many blogs covering these communication environments and reasons
Danish physicist, Niels Bohr (1885-1962) said, “An expert is a man (or woman) who has made all the mistakes, which can be made … “.
I’ve made many communication mistakes and will in future. Hope I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made so you have the best life possible.
Please enjoy the current and future articles, podcasts , online seminars and some communication ‘clangers’ on Taking Control Communications.
New Blogs constantly posted . Check out the other Blogs already up.
Blog if the urge grabs you.
Cheers
