Are You Communicating Or Connecting?
Beyond Communicating To Connecting
My life, like most other people, has been one of
communicating. In fact in 2005 I published a
book entitled, ”The Executive Speaks.” You
can therefore understand how I recently felt
on realizing that it is not sufficient to merely
communicate. I knew this, but did not understand
it fully, nor practiced it massively. You have
to
connect with people, and that connection
requires
you to generate energy to get on the same
platform
with the persons whose thinking and actions
you are trying to shift.
The international celebrity, John Maxwell,
sparked this awakening. One of his many
books, “Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, ”
explains what is involved in connecting with
people. My challenge now is to focus on
connecting with people rather than just
communicating.
John Maxwell is influencing leaders
throughout the world, and my
congratulations go out to him, as the Planet
owes him a great debt of gratitude for his
continuing efforts to develop transformational
world leaders.

Communication through pealing bells and white smoke!
RINGING CHURCH BELLS & WHITE SMOKE
Last week while on the computer working on
a ticklish project for a client, the air was
suddenly filled with strong peals of Church
bells ringing melodiously. I wondered what
was happening, and switched on to the news
to learn that the new Roman Catholic Pope
had been selected, as white smoke was seen
coming from the Sistine Chapel in the
Vatican, Rome.
Apparently this news was communicated
throughout the world for the faithful by the
several Catholic churches in various
countries sounding their Church bells
triumphantly.
This reminded me that you have to take the
situation into account when you need to
communicate quickly and effectively. This
additional strategy of the Church was
certainly an interesting way to let people
know the outcome of the New Pope’s selection
while going about their normal business.

P.S. Remember the 4
key preliminary questions
to consider before
you communicate:
[1] Do I have anything to say?
[2] What is the message I want to give?
[3] What is the awareness of the audience?
[4] What is the timeline to deliver the message?

How Can I Support You?
You have not heard from me for a while as
my wife, Edlin, was very ill (thank God she
has recovered and is well again.) I also took
the opportunity to focus on finishing
publication of my 10th book, “Enlightened
Corporate Leadership” that should be on
Amazon.com in 8 weeks.
My main purpose for contacting you is to
remind you that the first quarter of 2013
ends in 3 weeks, and you need to review
seriously what are the results of those
exciting goals you established for 2013.
When you review your performance if
you see a need, let me know,
”HOW CAN I
SUPPORT YOU?”
Call 8684879224 or e-mail me at
To Your Continued Success
