Communication Isn’t About Words

Sep 17, 2008 Random

Thanks for coming back. =). Glad to see you. If there's anything I can do for you, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email, or leave a comment, introduce yourself. I'd love to connect with you. Or if you have your own blog, why not let me promote your work?

I finally watched Wall-E today. It was a good movie, but I’m not going to write about the plot or review it or anything like that.

What I do want to say about it is something that struck me while I was watching it. Wall-E is more or less a non-talking robot. Throughout the whole movie, it only says two words (it repeats the same words quite a lot, though).

But despite that, the movie still portrays the emotions of Wall-E well. Purely through its actions, the robot Wall-E carries the plot well enough, and it displays its emotions and thoughts.

Communication isn’t just about words. In fact, at times, it’s not about words at all – your message can get across just as (if not more) effectively by what you do and who you are.

  • For a great resource on communication skills (85% of our communication is non-verbal!), check out newly-released book by Dick Fetzer called PLEASE LISTEN TO ME! It's a practical guide to becoming a reflective listener and helping others by listening with your heart , not just your head. It can be found on nearly any online bookstore or go to www.WinePressBooks.com
