Hi Craig

All aspects of my life require me to be a good communicator and you've hit the nail on the head. So many don't understand that its often not what about you do say but about what you don't, sitting back, taking every piece of them its surprising how many don't understand it.

Great blogs. love 'em
You talk sense, that's what I like about you.

Hi Craig...
Good post, i like the comments today.

My story is this: I am the smartest person i know, im funny im nice (most of the time) im interesting but put me in any social setting and i will say something so stupid that even i shake my head. I tried that 80 and 20 rule but... i found not much talking was done at all about anything! I agree it can be a nervous thing. Im so scared of saying something stupid i say something stupid.

Anyway, i'm just saying....

Oh and im from Melbourne too.

Cheers

Thanks Bronwyn, I'm glad I've been part of your journey (in some small way).

Congrats on your results so far. Keep up the great work and keep me posted.

Cheers.

“There’s no connection, no real understanding and the outcome of these conversations is usually confusion, frustration, anger or boredom.”
This is so true, and exactly how I feel when I try to talk to my daughter. I should know by now that her communications are like a foreign language to me, but she still drives me crazy! I like to get to the point and work out a solution. She likes to talk all around it, and then go away and do what she intended all along.
Thanks for the good pointers.

Thanks Craig – as you always seem to do this post came at the perfect moment. Just after I opened an email about a job interview (for my perfect job). I was just starting to think about the interview process…. and tada! Your wisdom on communication. I thank you many many times!
While I’m writing I’ll tell you I love you site and your blogs. I’ve lost 25 kg in the last year (still got 21 to go though) and your blogs are an essential part of my success. I wish you lived in Sydney! I’d love to hire you. Oh well, might need to pop to Melbourne at some stage…

Have a great day. May it be under 40deg in your part of the world.

Hugs

Bron

You’re right Damian; Baz is the man. Too funny.
