Developing the true power to communicate

Develop the ability to describe reality in order to connect with your audience. But first, you have to see things as they are! To increase this power to communicate, help others describe their reality and connect with their audiences.

Use this when:

• Communicating with others.
• Communicating with yourself.
• Helping third parties communicate with each other.
  

Use your existing knowledge, skills, personal characteristics: audience analysis, presentation skills, language skills, personal presence, being in the moment, accepting vulnerability, openness, critical thinking, trust, rapport, listening skills, being genuine, curiosity, self-esteem, flexibility, adapting to the situation, creativity, compassion etc.

Unlearn or lose the following: judging the message or the messenger, loss of equanimity, personal biases and filters, need to be right, defensiveness (protecting the self) etc.

Agreement or disagreement is irrelevant till true understanding is achieved.
