Art of Communication

2 Men 1 Mic

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that is has taken place”
(Author Unknown)

In this episode, Marc and Tavarus dive into a rich conversation about the importance of effective communication.

Communication by definition is the imparting or exchanging of information or news.

We are, whether we know it or not, always communicating something.

• It’s how we converse with the world around us.
• It happens in several forms:
  • Verbal
  • Nonverbal
  • Cerebral (right brain)
  • Facial
  • Body (language)
  • Visual
  • Audible
  • Silence

In any type of communication, the hat you choose helps determine the emotion they feel.

• Dad hat, husband hat, friend hat, counselor hat, listener hat, parenting hat, CEO hat, brother hat, man hat, coach hat - whatever hat you are wearing at the moment helps determine your approach, and the emotion your audience feels.

Some of the questions discussed are:

• Why is communication or effective communication so important?
• What constitutes effective communication or an effective communicator?
• How do you know if you’re an effective communicator?
  • HARD TRUTH: You’re probably not as effective as you think (watch a video of yourself, ask someone else).
  • How much of a role does “listening” play in the “ART” of communication?

3 Important questions you can ask yourself before you communicate:

1. What do I want them to know?
2. What do you want them to feel?
3. What do you want them to do (what are their next steps, what’s the call to action, what’s the application?)
