Imagine and allow everyone in view to bear the same levels as we do
and behold there it is the path unto effective communication with due
respect. Many people forget to use peer level communication and hence
what results is a series of communication blocks that prevents people
from getting along well with each other. Know that we all have the
same inner cravings; we want to be treated and perceived as having the
same worth and values. Therefore, use not interpersonal judgements and
allow everyone the prerogatives to express themselves better despite
individual differences. Here is a list of advantages that peer level
communication entails:-Allows you to be Yourself
Commence with a dash
of courtesy and kindness while initiating a talk with anyone, anywhere
and at anytime. Know clearly what we want to say and then speak about
it as clearly as possible. Do not assume what the other person would
want to express or think about at later stage. Hold on less to our own
agendas; instead try to convey our messages through a win-win
formulation while communicating. Likewise unless we are able to start
the fire on the grill first, only then shall there be an actual
barbeque to take place.Readily Accept Other's Opinions
While we put
others at our same level, we should not have interpersonal judgements
against the prescriptions of another; by that we may appear more
friendly and inviting. And that helps the person to express themselves
better and be more open with us throughout communication. While that
happens, we will be able to accept the opinions of others better and
expect similar reciprocal thoughts, ideas or reactions. It helps us
build stronger relationships; Perhaps we would then realize the fact
that amidst differences, there are similarities.Able to Listen
Better
Listen better thence understand more. Keep an open mind to all
sorts of possibilities in this world. Have we thought once in a while
that all we believed in may be the only truths in the world? Time to
let that kind of ideas be cut out. People do always say things with a
reason; what one says or do is usually a direct result of each of our
own interpersonal unique paths of living/experience/upbringing.
Perhaps, study what may or may not constitute of one's intentions
before deciding further; open our hearts and then listen carefully
first.Fairer Term Expressions
Ever heard things like.. "I'm sure you
can't afford these.." or "Those are for the super smart" or "It is
going to be very difficult".. etc. Do you agree these can be rephrased
into "Dear sir, this pair costs xyz$ amount.." or "You need to be
certified of higher learning and study skills to qualify" or "I know
some people whom went through 3 years of hard training before they
joined".. It sounds negative when one uses figurative language as
those entitle premature judgemental assumptions based on the self.
Better instead to specify precisely so that people would know better
and have a better idea of the situation. So who holds answer to all
things? Less judgemento please!Show More Respect
Peer level
communication with a dash of courtesy and kindness allows one to gain
better respect for the self and for others. Say, greet the house
cleaner or say "Hi" to Mrs. Brown, the stern school principal or talk
with that quiet kid sitting beside you everyday. More 'goody' social
friends may gradually brew.Practise makes perfect and what we need are
good seeds to be sown. So let us do it together to get merrier fruits
even.
