The Main Problem

At the National Eligibility Workers Conference in Anaheim last week, a woman asked about the subject of my workshops. When told that they were about communicating effectively, she thought for a bit then said, "If you can get people to actually listen, then you can communicate effectively. That's the hard part, nobody listens anymore." She's right. Mignon McLaughlin summed it up very nicely when she said, "Nobody listens to anyone anymore. Try it for a while, and you'll see why."

In this age of blogs, personal web pages, cell phone cameras and more, people really seem to be talking about themselves. In focusing on being a "sender" all of the time, they are losing the ability to be a "receiver".

This is one of the toughest filters you and your message need to overcome in order to reach people today. You can have as little as three seconds to make an impact with your message. That's why it so critical to practice what you learn in your "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar. That's how you can break through all of those other messages, interest your receivers in actually listening to you since you're focusing your message on them, and continue to reach people with your message. It is simple, but it isn't always easy. And it is more critical today than ever before.

Glad I was listening when she made that comment in Anaheim.
