Being misunderstood or not understanding something can cause us frustration, but asking this one simple question can change everything: “What do you mean by that?”.
In this episode, we cover:
- The challenges that changing communication channels bring.
- How and why it is important to be responsible in our communication.
- The reason why communication doesn’t work when something isn’t being said.
- The risks of reading between the lines.
- The use of miscommunication as a reason for not being clear enough.
- Why being misunderstood is a myth.
#Thrival Tips for your #Thrival Kit
- When you don’t get the response you want or expect, ask yourself what you didn’t say. Take responsibility and then communicate it.
- Whenever you find yourself reacting to a communication, 1) ask “what did you mean by that?” or 2) feedback what you thought it meant by saying “did you mean this?” and then respond.
- Being explicit in all your communication is a choice. It saves time, energy and makes life simple.
