What we were told - what we heard - what we thought we understood

How convinced are we? That we *really* understand?

How many times have you said something to someone, and only after a while (and a not always short response from their side) did you fall the token that the other side didn't even understand what you meant?

He just thought he understood you. In fact, he was really convinced, and he had no easy doubt.

(And with your hand on your heart, how many times were you convinced you understood, and it was a long time before you realized that you had made a wrong?)

And the bleak gospel- in that time there was damage. Sometimes minor damage. But more than once - heavy damage that is not easy to repair.

Misinterpretation, misinterpretation may create an impairment of trust, connection and willingness to cooperate, distancing themselves from communication. The list is (too long).

I recommended -- make a habit of you. A short question, just three words, that do wonders:

🔅 "What do you mean?", "What do you mean"?

🔅 the key to the right question - putting awe aside and opening the door to genuine curiosity - and, yes, humility as well.

🔅 how does it work? Just -- assume L-A you get it.

Assume you just may have understood, but there's a chance you didn't. It will make sure you ask with authenticity and not "pretend like that."

Oh, and another important thing that will help a lot -- don't try to see things from their eyes. Let them show you!

👈 the road to quality relationships, synergistic collaborations and excellent performance passes through quality discourse 👉

Is it possible that you are also paying unnecessary prices?...
