If you were
to single out one human ability or skill above all others, one that is
basic
and essential you would find that communication is by far the most
important of
them all.
Communication
is a subject that has received no emphasis or study until recent
decades, yet
all human endeavour depends
utterly on a full knowledge of the real basics of
communication.
To master
communication, one must understand it.
The full
definition of communication is: Communication is the consideration and
action
of impelling an impulse or particle from source-point across a distance
to
receipt-point, with the intention of bringing into being at the
receipt-point a
duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the
source-point.
Any
successful communication contains all these elements and any failure to
communicate can be analyzed against these elements to find out what
went wrong.
Understanding
the anatomy of communication is one thing but to be of use to anyone in
the
work-a-day world, practical application is the key.
A
trademarked process has been developed and is widely available in
almost every
capital city of the world.
These
training courses range from a public/new standard up to the highest
standard
used by professional counselors.
Each
element of the communication cycle is demarcated and a drill associated
with
it.
A student
progresses through the drills sequentially, mastering the first which is
“Be There”
to the last which is “Handling Originations”.
To really
quantify the amount of gain from training communication is not
difficult if one
observes their daily surroundings; it can be seen without a shadow of a
doubt
that communication is the senior factor of all cause, effect,
responsibility
and personal efficiency. It endows one with a much greater passion or
liking
for people and environmental order. Disagreements become almost
non-existent
because any break-down is quickly rectified within the communication
system
that is understood, used well and empowers both terminals.
If
you’ve
ever wondered what skill in life is the most important and how you can
get an
advantage over it, the answer is Communication.
