COURSE TEASER:
Is perception really reality? We're sure it can feel like our perception is reality - and the one accurate way to see the world. The problem is that people often have different interpretations of the exact same situation, and we really don't start our conversations by naturally understanding each other. In fact, there's one theory developed by Sociologists W. Barnett Pearce and Vernon E. Cronen called the "Coordination Management of Meaning" (CMM) that says that "miscommunication is usually the norm." Miscommunication and misunderstanding are generally the starting points for most of our interactions. We then use communication as a process to bridge that gap, creating shared perceptions and shared meanings with other people.
Think about it; if you already understood the other person 100%, then you really wouldn't need to talk about it much. That would be more like mind-reading, which the majority of us are unable to do. In this module, we will explore four elements that shape the way we perceive communication. These will ultimately help us understand each other more effectively and help us become better communicators both personally and professionally.
What’s included:
- Is Perception Reality?
