LB believes that you can craft a greater life when you take charge of your words, and her book tells you how to do just that in a format with quick actionable steps. Enjoy this excerpt from Chapter 2: Communication Is Everything.
“First, communication is a process. It is not one single thing taken at one single time. It requires context. It is a compilation of the give and take of things over a period of time, that may or may not lead to meaning.
Second, it’s really important to understand that communication only happens when there is a commonly understood system. If you speak to me in Swahili, we’re not communicating because we’re not utilizing a system that is common to both of us because I can’t understand you. George Bernard Shaw famously wrote, “The problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
This second part is where the majority of miscommunication occurs. We think we’re communicating in a common system, but even if you’re speaking the same language, meaning may be hard to find. Think about when you were confused by a word someone used, or a tone, or a facial expression or even a lack of response. That’s because…
CUE CARD! Communication is imperfect and subjective to every single individual.
Doesn’t that just make everything a hairy, ridiculous mess?!
Yes. Yes, it does.
AND it provides the expression of voice, color and uniqueness to each person. Totally worth it.”

“Small awarenesses are the foundation of epic transformation.”
