Words and meaning are not the same!

Have you found that sometimes when you are upset about something that someone said you latter discover that they did not mean what you thought they meant? Turns out you were really upset about nothing.

This happens all the time and in many cases you don’t even realise that they meant something different and there is no need for you to be upset. Words develop meaning in childhood and therefore the same word can mean very different things to different people.  When we learn about communication from a coach we learn that it is more about the meaning you attach to a word or phrase or tone of voice that determines your reaction rather then the actual word itself.

So if you feel upset by what someone says, ask him or her “ what do you mean by that?” “When you say _____, what does that mean to you?” This way you get a greater understanding of where the other person is coming from.

So what makes effective communication?

A recommended first step is to learn about the different styles of communication. Learn about your style and the style of those close to you. How do the different styles interact and what will work and not work when you are communicating with someone who has a different style to you.

If you would like to fast track your understanding of your communication style and learn how to effectively communicate with others then a life coach associated with Canberra Personal Development Courses preferred provider can show you how.
