Short video in which I explain the concept of mindful communication.
This is what I am trying to explain for 3 years:
“Simply put, effective communication is the extent to which a message is interpreted by its recipient with the intended meaning from the sender. Communication is more effective when both the sender and receiver use the same frames of reference. However in intercultural communication this is often untrue and interactions with strangers can in turn prove more difficult.
When people communicate mindlessly, they tend to utilize broad categories and stereotypes to predict behavior. As mindfulness increases, the categories become more specific and typically more accurate predictors. Since being mindful makes us open to more information we are more likely to correctly identify the receiver’s frame of interpretation.”
Isn’t it great when something has a label? When there is actually a word for it?
By being aware of your own communication, by being aware of the responses from your conversation partner, by being educated in other world views then your own, your communication will become awesome!
