Think Feel Know. Understanding Communication.
“He just seems to be on a completely different wave length.” “I don’t seem to be able to get along with the rest of the team.” “I thought I’d made myself perfectly clear.” “Why do we always end up rowing?” “I just don’t understand kids today.”
Have you ever said something like this in the office, or with your family, or at a meeting - or even at a school parents’ evening? Think Feel Know is a simple and memorable way to understand the different ways we all communicate. Are you mainly a Thinker, a Feeler or a Knower? Once you understand your communication styles, we’ll teach you to recognise how everyone else communicates and how to really share the experience of communication.
- Lack of understanding and poor communication can lead to:
- Breakdown in communication (and ultimately relationships)
- A lack of trust and respect
- Dysfunctional teams
- Poor decision-making
- Ineffective meetings
- Poor recruitment decisions
- Good communication enables:
- Strong relationships – with your family, friends and work colleagues
- Mutual respect and trust – with everyone you communicate with
- Conflict resolution – get on better with your partner, the children, parents, work colleagues etc.
- Buy-in to plans, proposals and ideas – at work and in all social situations
- Winning team work – at work, in sport or even the pub quiz
- Effective presentations – for whenever you have to communicate to an audience
- Rewarding recruitment decisions – picking the right people who are an asset to your business, your sports club or even a fund raising organisation
These are just a few examples of how Think Feel Know can help you improve everyday communications within the home, at work, at school or in any organisation where you interact with other people.
