Purpose, Process, Payoff

Communication is the foundation for all relationships. The way you communicate with people sets the stage for your entire rapport with them: trust, intimacy, common threads, loyalty, and more. It starts with basic elements of communication and crescendos into a full message of meaning, intention, and emotion.

The first element of communication is all about What Is Said. This consists of:

• Influencers in the communication such as one’s culture, personal experiences, and social construct.
• Words are the building blocks of our communication. By blending them together we formulate our message. By choosing certain words over others, we let people know the formality of our message and its contents.
• Understanding the impact of each message takes mastering the four (4) components of this element: Objectives, Audience, Channels, and Response.

Let’s talk about the Process.

Process

As with all our courses we are going to first explore the concept of Effective Communication and what it means to go through each of the elements. We’ll be breaking down Communication into its basic parts with each one being its own section.  

Next, we’ll uncover the science of Effective Communication because the connection between miscommunication, anxiety, and stress is fundamental. 

Third, we’ll focus on the benefits of Effective Communication and what life will be like when we increase our skills and reduce our stress.

Lastly, we’ll be detailing ways of putting the new information into practice and take you through some incredible activities to bring the concept home. 

The content builds on itself so make sure you go through the course as it’s laid out. If you skip around or jump ahead, you’ll likely get confused and need to start over. 

Payoff

When you understand and master Effective Communication you build credibility with people around you, earning their trust, loyalty, affection, and more. The result of each interaction can turn unhealthy relationships around, secure that promotion you’ve been wanting, reduce conflict and tension you experience, and the most important payoff of all, change how you talk to yourself about yourself. These are the reasons why you want to take this course and how it’s going to reduce your stress.
