NLP Portland, Oregon: The Meaning of Your Communication
NLP Portland, Oregon: The Meaning of Your Communication
The meaning of your communication is the response you receive.
- Do you frequently find yourself having to explain what you just said?
- Are you able to repeat what you said in a civil tone of voice?
That is, does it annoy you to have to repeat yourself?
These questions are leading to the idea that we might be missing the point, as we repeat what we say, again.
- Could it be that what you say doesn’t convey what you mean?
- If the person to whom you are speaking doesn’t understand (the
content) what you are saying, then you need to re-think and re-phrase.
The rule is, the speaker has the responsibility to make her point clear. If the listener doesn’t get it, the speaker must explain until he does get it.

I believe this is so, so true! Sometimes we are so inside our own heads that we do not actively monitor what is really coming out of our mouths.
