COMMUNICATION & INFLUENCE
Understand what makes people listen, resist, misunderstand or connect.
What did they hear when you knew what you meant?
Communication involves more than arranging words. Status, timing, fear, assumptions and the relationship all affect what is said and what is heard. Influence begins with understanding the context and making a contribution that another person can respond to.
Questions this subject opens
- Clear expression
- listening
- disagreement
- visibility and influence
In an ordinary day
Before a difficult meeting, write the one point you want understood, the reason it matters and the question you need answered. Leave room for the other person’s perspective.
How we explore it
THCA 3.0 considers the person, the relationships and the surrounding system. See → Understand → Interrupt → Repair → Reconfigure → Integrate provides a way to move from observation towards a practical change and a considered review.
