The 4 pillars of communication are effective in any form of communication and relationship. It’s important to understand that we all have our own versions of the world and the way it works. Not one persons is the same.
You don’t ever have to agree with someone but you do have to respect that, that is their interpretation just like yours is your own.
Below is a breakdown of what these are and how to implement them. You can find more things like this in my free E-Book.
1. Awareness- checking your body language, is it calm, is it intimidating, is it relaxed, is it tense. The reason this is important is because it gives the other person a sense of what to expect.
2. Authentic listening- this is essential, especially in any argument or disagreement. This is listening with the intent to understand not the intent to respond
3. Suspending- Pausing and taking a mental break to process the information before responding and consider all avenues.
4. Speak your truth- Understand that your truth is yours, it is not anyone else's. Every single person has a different version of reality, their own view of the world. Not one single persons is the same. You can speak your truth while understanding that you do not have to agree with each other, but that does not give you any right to put down or bully another persons belief or version of events. Validate each other and compromise to find a solution together.
