The Single Biggest Problem with Communication

“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

This quote is commonly attributed to the Irish Playwriter George Bernard Shaw.

My video blog this week looks at this illusion in more detail. I also outline what it looks and feels like and the three ways you can move from illusion to reality.

Real Communication

In my latest book, Real Communication: How to be you and lead true, I have a whole chapter dedicated to helping people overcome the single biggest problem with communication. Grab yourself a copy to find out more.

Praise for Real Communication

 

A wealth of experience, insight and practical steps to improve how to connect and influence. A fun and engaging read, with great stories and examples. I loved the focus on connecting through identifying your own 'genius', and what makes you unique. Brilliant book!

 

An easy to read and practical book on why we need to be authentic. The author had me laughing in parts when she talked about why we need to get rid of jargon, all too common in my workplace. Feels like you're getting good leadership advice from a friend. Highly recommended.

"Is commonly attributed?", what do you mean by that?
