When will we learn?With every sunrise we are given plenty of new
examples of people "Hitting Send" and soon regretting it. Social
media means what it says: it is social! Our methods of
communication today allow for something to potentially be broadcast
to everyone from Pekin, Illinois to Peking, China. But it's not
only Twitter fanatics who can find themselves in trouble.
Every
single one of us is capable of falling prey to this growing
plague.Every day we have the potential of both verbal and written
blunders. It makes no difference if we are talking to a stranger
over a meat counter, chatting on a cell phone with our mother, or
sending an e-mail to a coworker; we can and do miscommunicate and
people can and do get the wrong idea. When we don't pause long
enough to think before speaking or writing, it commonly yields a
misunderstanding and leads to a clash. We end up being the person
who said, "You know that sphere of the brain that stops you from
saying something that you shouldn't? Well, I don't have one of
those."
This book is about preventing that misunderstanding and
allowing for understanding. Said another way, preempting people
from getting the wrong idea and enabling them to get the right
idea! We all need work in this area in far more ways than just
glancing through a checklist.From external examples to internal
turmoil, Before You Hit Send is about the four things we must think
through before communicating. In all things we wish to say or
write, we would be wise to ask ourselves,Is it true?Is it kind?Is
it necessary?Is it clear?When we ask and answer these four
questions honestly, we will be thinking wisely before we speak. But
to explore this fully, we need to find out a whole lot more about
ourselves and uncover why we consciously and subconsciously get
into these communication disasters to begin with.
You may be
surprised what you discover about yourself. Shall we begin?
