Human communication is very difficult, except when it is perfectly simple.  Unfortunately, the times when it is difficult are the times that matter most.  If you do not study how to communicate effectively with the people in your home life and your work life, then the quality of your life is likely to be poor at best.  I can teach you to be an excellent interpersonal communicator.

Human Communication is Very Difficult!

assertive_communication.jpgBecause 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!

The main things people do not understand about communication are these: (1) Words do not 'contain' meanings; and: (2) Communication is not a 'transmission'!

Communication seems to be mainly about 'creating experiences' for others, and having them 'interpret' those experiences.  Hence the problem.
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 (in response to our reasonable requests).  Of course, there is reasonable confrontation and unreasonable confrontation: the assertive approach (good) and the aggressive approach (bad).

assertiveness.3.jpgI 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 with 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 Hebden Bridge or Halifax

Or in London, Leeds or Manchester;

Or in Edinburgh, York or Wilmslow. 

In a short time you could be communicating much more effectively, if you respond well to my coaching and counselling help.

To set up an appointment, call me today on:
