"Look at me!"

Now, more than ever, it is critical for you to to "Break Through the Clutter" and reach the person you're trying to communicate with by making your message mean something to him or her. With 80-90%, or more, of America's high school students, college students, and post-college adults now regularly documenting and sharing their lives on social media web sites, we are really becoming a society of "senders" rather than "receivers" when it comes to messages. People are talking about themselves, posting their pictures and videos, and tweeting about what they happen to be doing at that particular moment. It's all "me, me, me", and not necessarily in a bad way.

A professor at La Salle says that the rise of these social media sites feeds into two strong currents in the American nature, the need to be a part of a group, and the need to be noticed and be seen as special. So, there's nothing wrong or narcissistic about people always talking about themselves. And, it can make it easier for you when you need to communicate today.

When you practice what you learn in your "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar and make your message be about your receiver instead of being about you, your message will stand out from the clutter of everyday life. Yours may be one of the few messages they see or hear all day that isn't about someone else. Yours will fill their need to be seen as special, because yours answers their questions, informs them, or helps them accomplish something. When everyone else bombards them with messages of "me, me, me", your message of "you, you, you" is one that they will want to listen to. And that allows your message to break through all of that other clutter.
