Good Communication ideas......

I just read an article in The Guardian.  It is about communication again.  The article is about a couple from Wales that has learned how to communicate with terrorists and teenagers.  The whole premise of these way of communication is that we need to get our ego out of the way.  We need to learn to understand that the person that we are trying to communicate with needs to know that we are not trying to put them in a one down position.  As we know, we feel that way when we are in a position of trying to communicate with someone that is perceived as having more authority.  We learn in the movies that it is intimidation that rules the day, but in real life that is not the way that it works.
So here are some animal communication styles that we tend to go to:
  • The T-Rex is frank and forthright, but can become sarcastic and unfriendly.
  • The Lion sets the agenda and acts confidently, but can be demanding, dogmatic and rigid.
  • The monkey is social, warm and friendly, but can become over familiar.
  • The mouse is modest and humble, but will avoid conflict and become disengaged and needs tight structure.
It is important to know your style and how the other person is responding to get to a place of understanding.  Get to know yourself.

I know that I like my job using the LENS neurofeedback system,  I hope that I can help.
