Communication skills workshops are intensive periods of time where people can quickly learn the skills and knowledge they need to become better communicators. Communication seems to be an area many companies take for granted because they assume proper communication is taking place. It just happens communication is one of the biggest problem areas in many companies for a number of different reasons.
Many times, the person who is sending the message out to others either through the written word or the spoken word completely understands what they are saying. The problem is the person on the receiving end does not have access to the senders mind but only to the message being sent. This receiver will read, interpret and assign meaning to the message all based on their own personality, personal history, opinion of the sender and many other factors.
There is a great phrase in the Navy heard by officers everywhere and it is simply, Aye, Aye. The meaning behind this simple phrase is; I hear and I understand what you have communicated. Many people hear the message but they do not really understand it which can cause all kinds of different problems in businesses.
