So, what exactly is the importance of effective communication? Why the hype over it?
Effective communication will strengthen your existing relationships and help you to form positive bonds in future interactions.
You probably learned this fact very early on in life. As a baby, you quickly discover that crying will bring your beloved Mommy or Daddy scurrying into your nursery to rock you, feed you or even change your diaper.
You begin to realize that the louder and more often you cry, the faster they will show up at your crib!
This trend continues on to adolescence when you notice that the more you are willing to discuss where you are going with your parents, the better chance you have of receiving a few extra bucks for that weekend movie.
This idea is reinforced throughout your teenage years; you begin to form special bonds with friends after spending countless hours gabbing on the phone with them or discussing life’s ups and downs with the guys on the football field.
Once you become an adult, you understand that communicating effectively will bring you closer to your child, colleague, friend or parent. We all appreciate the special relationships where we can discuss opinions openly without the fear of being judged. Such is the importance of effective communication.
Learning to communicate effectively can also prevent misunderstandings.
Too many people assume the other person knows exactly what they are thinking. And you know what they about this bad habit; when you assume, you make an “ass” out of “u” and “me”.
