THE ART OF COMMUNICATION.


I attended a meeting the other day on the art of communication. The speaker used humour to outline the differences between people.

Some of us are more visual, guided by what we see. Others are guided more by what they hear,

while others again are guided by their feelings.

Of course most of us are a combination of all three.

Men are generally guided by the logical side of their brain, while women are a mixture of the creative side of the brain and the logical side. This can be why men often believe women to be scattered, yet it’s because we are able to combine more than one thing at a time. This may disturb the logic of man, yet women understand each other.

The art of communication depends on us being able to step into the shoes of another person - to see things from their point of view. Misunderstandings happen when we are not aware of others. Are they visual? Are they audio? Are they people of feelings?

By communicating - listening - observing, we learn to become aware of others as they are, not as we conceive them to be. And so, the art of communication is put in place!
