Miscommunication - Root Cause of Problems?Written by Michael Lee
People of two opposing ideas can stir up arguments and fights. It's that situation when one thinks he has right concept while other one also believes he has proper notion. Both of them would try to outsmart each other until one claims victory.Here's an actual example. My girlfriend Riza would sometimes buy me signature clothing. When my Mom founds out how much it costs, she would advise us to budget our money and just buy affordable ones. A problem occurs when Riza thinks that her effort to give me best was unappreciated. Mom, on other hand, would think that Riza is such a spender. There's a conflict with their beliefs. No two people are exactly alike. We are totally unique; not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. There will be many times when your opinion will not correspond with that of another. So how can people prevent this kind of conflict from occurring? Communication is key to overcome doubts and misunderstandings. You should let other people know what's in your mind. Don't keep them guessing. There was a story about two couples who were filing a divorce. After lawyer have spoken to them both, he found out that root cause of all their problems was due to miscommunication. Here's one of couple's problems. The man filing divorce said that he just hated breakfast meal that his wife often prepared for him. On other hand, wife said that she's only preparing meal because she thought it was her husband's favorite. But she never liked cooking it because it's very difficult to prepare.

This article/coaching tip was first written in InnerRhythm Coaching Newsletter (Nov 04).Creating magic moments with loved ones recently brought back memories of a charity expedition to Kenya in April. I was trying to get some beautiful sleep during night, thousands of feet high in sky when two guys sitting nearby were talking about their businesses and how they were not growing to their satisfaction or not reaching their objectives. It wasn't something I hadn't heard before, but it was something that triggered many thoughts in my mind. The explanations that were triggered in mind included economy, or wrong people on team and so they weren't targetting right customers. Recent moments with loved ones made me realise that these people have so much potential in them. They are not way speak, they just need to reveal and uncover potential hidden within them. I checked out dictionary.com for a definition of potential and it read, "the inherent ability or capacity for growth, development, or coming into being, or something possessing capacity for growth or development." When we point to others as cause to our problems we are missing point. We hold many, if not all answers ourselves. Maybe not in this moment, but when we unleash our potential, we unleash talents, skills, perspectives and ideas that can help us solve problems we face and become more fulfilled in our lives. We know we need to unleash potential as soon as possible, but do we know how? Let me share with you some steps to look out for and do to unlock your destiny... Read these steps observing them from two perspectives - how will they help you and others?
