Change, Continued or should I say Continues...

A good sign of whether a person has changed on the inside is how they look on the outside as well as how they communicate. Let me explain.

There are basically three types of communication, verbal, non-verbal and written. Studies show that Non-verbal may account for 70% of any conversation. I do not have any evidence to confirm or deny this claim, but here is my take of why each factor is equally important.

If you are the most gifted and eloquent speaker ever to grace the earth, yet you haven't showered in a week, wear clothes that need cleaning etc. Your message may not reach the intended audience.

Or, if you are the best looking, best dressed, practice all the right non-verbal signals yet you cant put two sentences together that make any sense. Your message may not reach the intended audience.

Same with written communication. You can have the best ideas ever yet use poor grammar, misspelled or wrong words, etc. The message will not be received with credibility.

What does this have to do with change?

Everything.

If you want to succeed you had better take your communication skills seriously and that may mean attend workshops to improve. Self improving equals personal change. Personal change is essential to keep pace today and in the future.

God Bless.
