HOW MEN & WOMEN COMMUNICATE, OR NOT.

A lack in communication comes about from varying factors.

One could miscommunicate that which they are relaying to another. One may not communicate at all that which they could say but do not – non communication. Even the differences in communication styles between the sexes; men and women can create misunderstandings in the message getting across.

All of these attribute to a lack in communication.

Essentially, the other person does not know what we are thinking. It is up to us to get what is in our heads, out of our heads in a clear and concise manner so that it is easily understood by the other person.

When doubting whether your communication is being effective, ask.

Tips pointing the finger to ineffective communication.

The other person appears confused, as they keep repeating the same question over and over again.

Why?

You may not be giving specific and clear details to your message for it to be understood.

Solution ~ Listen, pay careful attention to what is being said to you. Get a grasp of what level of understanding the other person has.

E.g. The other person may wish to know how to build a fence. They have asked you, the expert fence builder, to guide them through the fence building process.

What you the expert think is easy to understand everyday knowledge, could still be well over the heads of someone who is entirely new to this experience.

To communicate effectively to the novice you would require to see the fence building through their eyes and communicate on that level of understanding.

Miscommunication really is easily remedied.

Avec l’amour,
