Why Do We Struggle to Communicate?

A communication hack!

Why do some people never get what you mean? Why is it hard sometimes to communicate with one another?

Have you ever had a time when you truly knew what you were saying, had a solid point, and explained it very well, but the person just didn’t get what you meant? Even worse, did they blame you?

I have. So many times! I tried to understand “why” for years until I got to a point where I learned that everybody understands from their perspective and their beliefs about whatever topic you are discussing. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with ME! I was taking every conflict personally. I blamed myself for so long, thinking I wasn’t good at communicating. However, that wasn’t the reality. I started mastering communication by applying Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Neuro-Shine Technology Coaching in my life. These tools and training really taught me how the human mind works, how I can improve my coaching skills, and most importantly, how I can be a better person with more positive language.

You can only communicate with a person based on their level of understanding, their level of positivity, and their level of willingness.
