More to Learn

You are a learning machine. No matter where you are in life, you have something to learn. I like to think that each day I learn something, then that is a good day. I suppose that the learning process is one of the things I always enjoyed as I watched my kids grow up.

Have you ever watched a baby learn? I mean really watched – like “fly on the wall”, just allowing them to investigate, and learn organically? It is quite amazing!

I remember my daughter teaching herself how to crawl. First there was a process of learning how to actually get up on her knees and hands. Then there was a process of getting those knees and hands to move in a way that led to forward motion. Sometimes there was frustration because she knew she could do it, yet she hadn’t discovered how. Left to her own devices she work through the frustration and confusion and learned how to perform that simple task for herself.

Once she had mastered that, there was more to learn – like… walking, then running, then riding a bike, then…

Even once mastered, there is still more to learn on that subject or something related.

I would bet that you probably are very good at communicating. In fact, you are so good at communicating that most of your communication is done unconsciously. Now, if you desire to be an excellent communicator, you have something to learn. Did you know that the difference between being a good communicator and an excellent communicator is intent? That’s right, an excellent communicator communicates with intent. The first step in being an excellent communicator is to ask your self, “Why?” Why are you saying what you are saying? What is the purpose of your communication or, more importantly, what is the result you want to achieve as a result of your communication?

I will be announcing in the next newsletter a regular meeting for anyone interested in learning how to empower themselves and how to empower their life through communication.

Keep learning, stay tuned and…

BE Amazing,
