Description

The Uncommon communicator is the individual that has the enlightenment to recognize in any situation whether communication has occurred. This uncommon communicator takes ownership of the conversation and possess the skills to navigate and facilitate the conversation to mutual understanding.

Welcome to the Uncommon Communicator podcast, your host James Gable and Brandon Thompson are here to bring enlightenment to the topic of communication.
To train the Uncommon approach to communication we will discuss the tenants or mantra of the Uncommon Communicator 

1.    Enlightenment – The Key 

2.    Ownership – The combination lock 

Enlightenment 

Enlightenment scares some people. They think is some hippie drug induced state and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

en·light·ened

adjective

1. having or showing a rational, modern, and well-informed outlook.

"the more enlightened employers offer better terms"

Here is a scary quote:

““Enlightenment is a destructive process. It
 has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the
 crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing
 through the facade of pretence. It's the
 complete eradication of everything we
 imagined to be true.”
 ― Adyashanti

• The key : Enlightenment - You have to recognize if communication is taking place. 
  • Seems simple but it must be the starting place
  • This is the start of emotional Intelligence and self-regulation
  • The communicator must be fully invested to ensure communication takes place. 
  • Communication is only a two-way street if both are Enlightened. 

Ownership  is a combination lock 

This uncommon communicator takes ownership of the conversation and possess the skills to navigate and facilitate the conversation to mutual understanding.

• The Combination lock:  How do they speak?
  • Assertive 
• Aggressive 
• Passive 
• Passive - aggressive 

How do they listen?
 

• Tell me more
•  Tell me less - ( Soup Nazi from Seinfeld)
•  I need facts 
• I need stories

• What is their emotional state?
   
• Calm
•  Excited 
• Angry
•  Emotional 
• Cold 

• Having the Key and applying the combination to understand the listener will begin the process of identifying the walls that breakdown communication. 

The moment of enlightenment from today

Be uncommon and through enlightenment, take ownership of your conversations
