Human Communication is Very Difficult!
Because
it is relatively easy to communicate about chairs and tables, and other simple objects, most people assume it should be easy
to communicate about such abstract phenomena as 'relationships', 'feelings' and 'commitments'. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Werner Erhard used to say that people cannot communicate because what they call communication ISN'T!
If you want to be a good communicator, there are
some basic skills that you need to learn, which have to do with how we respond when things go well; how to respond if we want
to change something by agreement; and how to confront others who will not change. Of course, there is confrontation
and confrontation: the assertive approach (good) and the aggressive approach (bad).
I can help you to understand where you are going wrong in your communication with your loved ones,
your work colleagues, your business partners, customers, clients, friends, neighbours, and so on. I can introduce you
to a range of skills to improve the impact of your communications with all those people to whom you relate.
If you want
to be able to get along better with everybody in your life, I can help you to develop the correct understanding and the appropriate
skills. You don't even have to take time out to come and see me at my office; and we never even have to meet.
We can work together over the telephone, and I can send you follow-up reading material, and you can email me with progress
reports.
On the other hand, if you want to meet face to
face, I can set up an appointment to meet in Halifax or Hebden Bridge.
In
a short time you could be communicating much more effectively, if you respond well to my coaching.
