Instructor's Corner
Mis-communications and What to do about them.
By Scott Shoen
Mis-communications develop between people so easily. We all live in our own unique worlds. Words can have different meanings; ideas and intentions can be miss understood. Here are some tips to help avoid these mis-communications.
1. Be ready to invest regular time speak and be with the other person. Fifteen hours a week of communication is the average necessary time to maintain an exceptional marriage. This is your biggest relationship, but it gives you a feel for the effort that good communication requires.
2. First understand what they say and make sure they agree with your understanding.
3. Repeat back in your own words what you think they have said to you. Then make sure they agree with your understanding. Then express your side of the story.
4. Be aware of the person's voice, body language, and actions.
5. Communicate regularly and be sure to remain friends as the business of living can get in the way very easily.
6. Assume a positive intention or need behind all behaviors. This is very difficult when all appearances point to the person just being against you. Try it anyway it can work miracles.
7. Realize the longer you know someone the more likely that mis-communications will arise so be ready to talk them out and you will likely find that there was a big mis-understanding.
8. Never give up on developing good communication. It is not easy and can take many years, but it is worth it.
