Over the past few months, as I have been afforded the
opportunity to slow down and become more aware of the world around me, I have
been struggling with what I can offer to help.
I have become increasingly sensitive to the seemingly universal
complaint of discontent over unproductive communication. People are not feeling heard. People are feeling forced to take a stand,
even on issues that they do not fully understand. People are feeling attacked for no
reason. People are feeling ashamed and
not sure why. People want desperately to
be able interact with one another in meaningful ways.
With this blog, it is my goal to help anyone be able to
understand what this all means for each one individually, and what it means to
us all collectively. I intend to provide
the tools necessary to get to the root of the difficulties in understanding,
and in being understood.
I plan to cover topics including but not limited to:
- The
path from emotion to expression
- Demands
vs Offers
- Winning
vs Gaining
- Debate
vs Discourse
- Gauging
success by learning
- Knowing
your audience AND your platform
- The
need for perspective
- Evaluating
and granting power
- The
importance of preserving opposition
If you have a desire
to be a better communicator, or if you simply want to feel less stress from the
information age that has encompassed us all, please join me as I offer some
answers. Please share this with anyone
you think might value to opportunity to learn to add more value to interactions
with others.
