48 Lost in Translation. When miscommunication throws you off track!
Have you ever had communication so mixed up that you feel like you were playing telephone?
It happens to all of us where we think we communicated clearly, but somehow the reaction doesn't match, and you wonder what happened! You ask questions, but it seems to only make it worse. It ends up so off track. You aren't sure how to fix it without it getting worse. Do you think it's best to jump ship?
If you could catch yourself before it goes too far before you or the other person gets swallowed up by the stories running in your minds, would you? Of course, you would!
Here are a couple of easy questions to ask when you think to yourself. What is this person saying? I can't believe they said that to me!!
1) I am not sure I am following. Do you mind if I get clarification from you on a few things?
2) I'd like to make sure we are on the same page. This is what I understood from your communication. Am I understanding you correctly?
3) Let me repeat what I heard back to you so we can move forward in an efficient sync manner. Would that be alright with you?
I hope this gives you an idea of how to quickly you can put the breaks on the miscommunication before it goes too far and not fixing more than a simple miscommunication.
Of course, the trick is not to get lost in the stories as you translate the communication, and it turns into something completely different. Stop asking yourself if it's what you KNOW you heard or what you THINK you heard and ask for clarification. What can it hurt?
Until next time, keep it simple, be at ease with yourself, trust your intuition with light the way.
