Communication can be seen as a vehicle thru which to drive ideas into creative production, understand each other and world around us, educate each other and solve problems.
Discerning for what purpose we are using communication can be seen as the first step to effective communication ….
If communication is a vehicle, ideas and pieces of information can be seen as the passengers , the contents of the vehicle that you pick up and drop off along the way. These components create the constantly evolving content of the communication experience .
What the communication looks and feels like is determined by how these pieces fit together, are lined them up and driven in the direction of their destination.
First and for most, you need to know where your destination is, then navigate the most efficient way to arrive at your destination…. there may be a few stop offs, some detours, some road blocks, some new territory discovered along the way …. but the communication to still set on course to arrive in a place beyond the point of where you began.
How you navigate the variables along the way is determined by an individual’s experience and communication skill set.
The ability to balance receiving information with contributing information is key to creating balance and ease here.
