It’s that WELCOMED time of the year again, isn’t?
Here we are a good couple of weeks in the a brand new Baseball Season
and in particular after an extra-inning win against the dreaded
Y A N K E E S
which saved the Guardians from getting swept after
losing a double-header on Saturday. . .
The timeless,
WHO’S ON FIRST
skit that Abbott and Costello performs
gives credence to why Baseball was ever invented, played and enjoyed. . .
It was first performed some 71 years ago in
1 9 5 3
In one of the most popular presentations,
I’m often asked to perform,
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I DIDN’T SAY
is one of my favorites. . .
mostly because I often begin the talk with this clip.
I swear,
it’s like many conversations I have with
patients, family’s, my kids, my wife,
uhhhh, yeah,
I really hate to admit this:
E V E N M Y S E L F
I know exactly what I’m saying,
honestly,
I do
But, I’m never exactly sure what
what’s honestly being HEARD. . .
or in this case,
might be actually seeing
or reading.
Maybe the most expert Communication advice I’ve ever followed is:
DON’T BE SO SURE
as to what you think people are
hearing
seeing
reading
thinking
by what you genuinely
say
show
write
or imply. . .
Here,
let me say it for you:
O U C H. . .
Let’s get this real
1000%,
undeniably authenticated:
Spelling
C-O-M-M-U-I-C-A-T-I-O-N
is no doubt the easiest thing about it. . .
Communication
with anyone
anytime
anywhere
takes a lot of work
each and every time it takes place!
Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssst:
Proceed with Caution.
