When communicating with others, regardless of your age or their age, the flow can go one way, or a combination of up to 4 ways.
- "Adult to Adult"
- "Adult to Child"
- "Child to Adult"
- "Child to Child"
You can make the decision to limit it to one the first two simply by maintaining the "Adult" role. As you may have heard me say again, and again: "Emotion ALWAYS trumps logic, and this is why we will sometimes reduce our position to that of the "Child."
So when communicating with others be sure to take control of emotions, standfast in the "Adult" role, your communication will be more effective and professional, and you will maintain "The Power Position."
