Did I Say That?: How to Communicate in Everyday Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979330513)

One of the easiest things to do is communicate-to talk, exchange ideas, perspectives and points of views. However, it wasn't until I entered the workforce, and later study conflict resolution, that I realized communication is easy but it's the interpretation that causes nations to go to war, relationships to end, and otherwise qualified workers to lose their jobs. There are brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters that are not talking to one another because of the way someone interpreted an innocent comment or conversation. In my over 25 years of teaching and counseling, I've encountered married couples who are on the verge of a separation or divorce because of misunderstood communication and/or no communication. There are hundreds of books on communication that focus on specific areas such as gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, class, etc., however, this easy-to-read book focuses on everyday people, real life situations and interactions. In just 70 short pages, you'll gain the tools necessary to interpret communication accurately. This in turn, should help you avoid troubled relationships and other life issues that result from misunderstood communication. Most importantly I hope that after reading this book you will be empowered to mend a broken relationship(s) that was destroyed through a series of misunderstandings. You may realize that telling the other person what really hurt your feelings (in a way that he or she can easily understand) could bridge the gap that was created when you first stopped communicating.
