It amazed me when he said it. The power of it. The simplicity. My biopsychology lecturer in closing off our final lecture said to us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The working of the human brain is dependant on communication.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, his message is; communicate well to the human\nbrain and that brain will process the information well. Communicate poorly and\nthe receiving brain will process the information negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This message is oh so relevant in today\u2019s world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in an era of fast convenient communication. This works for speed. The flipside is it creates bad habits. We can think less about what we put into an e-mail that we\u2019re \u2018pinging\u2019 off to someone, or a message that we\u2019re \u2018firing\u2019 out to a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increases the risk of communication landing poorly to one or more of the human brains receiving the information. Which can create the ripple effect of negative feeling and\/or response. This is not good. Ever. However especially when it\u2019s the human brain of someone important to you personally and\/or professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also live in a world of exploding numbers of\ncommunication channels. We\u2019re having to manage a much greater volume of\ncommunication. From which has emerged a worrying trend. That is slow, or more\nspecifically, no response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever about poor communications creating a poor response in a human brain, no response is arguably generating a much deeper level of negative processing in human brains. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the existence of this world is people. And our co-existence in this world is facilitated by our communication with each other. Amidst all the uncertainty on this planet with Brexit, Climate Change etc. one thing is certain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we own our opportunity to create positive responses in human brains through our communications we can make a difference.<\/em> And if we can create a movement towards a commitment to communication we can multiply the effect of this difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s three ways to create a commitment to communication this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pause then send:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a pause before you send a message or an e-mail. Read it\nback one more time and ask, is this going to create a positive response in the human\nbrains receiving the information (even if the communication contains a difficult\nmessage)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get back:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At lunch and at the end of the working day ask yourself, \u2018is there anyone I need to get back to?\u2019. If there is, commit to a response right away or as soon as you can (I\u2019m including a link<\/a> to a song that could be a musical reminder to this action this week!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send a positive message:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a day this week take the time to send a positive message to someone. For no other reason than you\u2019d like to create a positive response in the brain of a person that you like\/love\/respect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a turbulent world communication can be the difference. I hope that you can help bring that difference to life this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
