Taster Course: What Is Fab Communication?
Some questions for you to consider:
Do you understand your own strengths and talents?
Do you understand your own limitations?
Do you make others aware of your talents and limitations?
Do you seek feedback from others on your communication style?
Do you invest time in developing your talents?
Do you communicate warmth and interest in others?
Do you take responsibility for your mistakes?
Do you communicate effectively and speak up when I want to?
Do you understand your own limitations?
Do you make others aware of your talents and limitations?
Do you seek feedback from others on your communication style?
Do you invest time in developing your talents?
Do you communicate warmth and interest in others?
Do you take responsibility for your mistakes?
Do you communicate effectively and speak up when I want to?
If the answer to most of these questions is “no,” then it's time to consider making a positive change and learning some fab principles of communication.
The fab approach to communication uses the rationale that people are not difficult, just different from each other, and that no amount of persuasion is going to change them. Nor is there any reason to change them, because the differences are probably good, not bad.
People are different in fundamental ways. They want different things; they have different motives, purposes, aims, values, needs, drives, impulses, urges. Nothing is more fundamental than that. They believe differently: they think, dream, perceive, understand and comprehend differently. And of course, manners of acting and emoting, governed as they are by wants and beliefs, follow suit and differ radically among people.
The reason that the analogy of The Beatles is used as the source for the learning principles is twofold. It is precisely those variations in behaviour and attitude that made the four individual Beatles so successful as a team. They had a complimentary mix of skills and abilities. Each was valued and given an opportunity to contribute towards team goals and objectives. It is true to say that without John, Paul, George or Ringo there would have been no Beatles. However, without the individual contribution that each of them made overall, there would not have been the phenomenal long-term success that has continued to the present day.
