The Six Keys to Positive Communication - Greater Good
Communicating better can help you achieve your goals and deepen your relationships.
When I was 15 years old, I enrolled in a program to study English in what seemed like the middle of nowhere, also known as Iowa.
Having grown up in France and Switzerland, I spoke zero English. In Iowa, I couldn’t understand what people were telling me, and I couldn’t express myself. I couldn’t connect with people, I couldn’t create interactions, I couldn’t build friendships. I faced some of the most difficult months of my life because I was in some ways mute, and in some ways deaf.
But that experience taught me the most beautiful aspect of human communication. As I learned to speak, as I learned to listen, as I learned to connect, I was able to create a social network around me. It was human communication that set me free.
