The Meaning of Communication

"The meaning of communication is the response you get."

Once I really understood this it transformed my ability to communicate effectively.

- It means taking responsibility for the outcomes you get.

- It means developing more acute self awareness.

- It means becoming better at understanding different types of people.

You achieve this by tuning into other people's perspectives.

Which in turn means you'll have a much greater impact.

Demonstrating genuine empathy, building rapport and developing situational awareness towards a myriad of different personality types is a never-ending journey.

The key thing is to be aware of our shortcomings.

We can then improve a bit more each day.
