Assumptions Are The Death Of Communication

Almost all of what I teach is, in one way or another, how we can listen at a deep level to others and ourselves. Part of listening – or Listening Power as I call the process – is to understand what the other person is trying to say.
Understanding ourselves is sometimes a tough call; to understand someone else is many times more difficult. What gets in the way is us, and that usually means the assumptions we make about what the other person really means. As soon as we make an assumption, especially one that leads us to believe that we understand feelings, it sounds the death knell to clear communication.
The closer you are to someone, the harder it is to set aside your assumptions. Try this at home folks, or in the office. Next time you are in a conversation, look at the other person with new eyes and commit yourself to finding out what is really going on for them by acknowledging them and discovering something about them that you may not know. You might be surprised, and you might enhance your communication, not to mention your relationships.
