MASTER CLASS -- COMMUNICATION

Create what-is

Put it where it is -- in context

Be theatrical about it.

Junk communication serves the act, but not the purpose of communicating.

Real communication informs, makes a difference, inspires and empowers

People might not always get the whole gist of what you say,

But they always get where you're coming from when you say it.

Your words come from only two places --

The silences of your heart,

Or the noise in your head.

Where you come from is what you'll create;

Whatever song is going on in your head,

Is what they'll pick up on.

If you're coming from confusion, they'll get confusion.

If you're coming from "being right", that's what they'll react to, and be right about their reaction.

If you're singing a Victim song, they'll get you're a victim, and react accordingly.

It takes a lot of awareness and determination on the part of the listener,

To NOT take you at your own unconscious self-appraisal.

Straight-line what you have to say.
If there's a choice between straight, or sincere

Be direct, rather than sincere;

Sincerity is a vastly overrated virtue --

The village idiot is capable of being sincere.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say,

When you say it.

And create your listeners/readers as ABLE.

Communicate your feelings:

People see in pictures,

But they remember with feelings.
