What we learnt on our corporate day
‘One of our most memorable speakers of last year was Kelly Marks demonstrating Horse Whispering. A fascinating session using communication with horses to illustrate how we communicate. And how much we communicate without intending to do so!’The key learning points that I felt readily transfer to the work environment were:
To communicate effectively
Recognise everyone is different. Try to communicate the same thing in at least three different ways.
Make it easy by keeping it simple.
Make yourself more interesting than a bunch of hay.
Use the language of the recipient.
Be clear with yourself what your intention is.
Be purposeful not uncertain and vague.
And most importantly when under pressure – eg when faced by a tough question, create space for your right brain (intuition) to do its stuff.’
