Effective communication, like leadership, is more about awareness than anything else. The majority of our communication is nonverbal! We must be aware of not only communication techniques but also in how we are perceived. Envision you are watching a speaker or are speaking .... List/think about all the ways communication is taking place. Common answers: Body language, facial expressions, hand gestures, movement, eye contact, attire, confidence …. Oh yes, and the words you actually speak! “One of the most important aspects about communication is to ‘hear’ what isn't being said.” Kevin Snyder, Ed.D. @KevinCSnyder www.KevinCSnyder.com What are the “methods” by which we communicate? Face-to-face speaking is one … how else do you communicate with someone on a daily basis? Examples: Phone, text, email, instant messaging, social media, writing a letter (oh yeah!) With the advent of technology and how we communicate through tech, there now exist numerous ways in which we communicate, i.e. inputs. With so many inputs and ways to communicate, we “think” we’ve communicated … but have we? “The challenge with communication is the ILLUSION that it’s actually taken place.” Kevin Snyder, Ed.D. @KevinCSnyder www.KevinCSnyder.com #1 use of the flip phone?
