If You Don’t Understand Me
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness
was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what
I wanted to be, when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They
told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told
them they didn’t understand me.”
John Lennon, English Musician, Singer, Songwriter,
Founding Member of the Beatles
As I see it . . . . . . .
If you don’t understand me
If I make you comfortable being in my presents . . . . you will communicate with me and understand me.
If I ask you questions . . . . you will tell me.
If I listen . . . . I will hear you.
If I hear you . . . . I will understand you.
If I make you feel important . . . . you will like being in my company.
You don’t understand me . . . . is deeply rooted in poor commutations.
Poor communication . . . . is a direct bi-product of not proactively listening to the person who is speaking.
You don’t understand me . . . . is at the root of close to 70% of all the divorces in the country. And a major factor of broken relationship in business . . . . and in lost business opportunities.
If I communicate with you will understand me . . . . and we will create a pathway to build mutual rapport.
If you don’t understand me . . . . it becomes slippery path downhill . . . . Listen to what a person is telling you . . . . and you will hear what it will take to build a strong relationship with the person and do business with them.
