I love learning and gaining insights. And I like sharing what I have learned. I love getting insights and seeing how things fit together and sharing that so others can get that same joy of learning and knowing. But I am guessing like many of you, there are things we learned as a part of our experience and we assume other people must have certainly learned those things as well. Because of this we think they are not that important to share. However, sharing is a big part of our life experience. This week I will continue to share with you some insights I treasure. One such insight was when a colleague made an observation about people's ability and inability to do what he called (social) self-editing. This had to do with knowing your audience and delivering accordingly. I was reminded that day that the delivery method matters. Passion alone is not enough to carry the conversation - we must say things so that people can receive them. If the packaging of the content is not appealing the message may be overlooked. So, this week as you communicate and help others to do the same, let's be reminded about self-editing and taking notice of how the recipient is taking in our message, so our important content can be received.
