 A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
What does this image mean to you?
Some interpret it as restricted love. Some say it represents a heart attack. And still others read it as a message to lose weight. There are no right or wrong answers, just personal perceptions.
Visual communication expert and author of VisualsSpeak Christine Martell has used this Heart Image exercise as an engaging way to kick off her training sessions. "I've asked this question to thousands of people around the world," says Christine. "Most think of heartache and pain. But some respond with just the opposite - that the image conveys joy and speaks to the limitlessness of love or the connection between the heart and the gut. And the rest are interesting by virtue of being unexpected, including things like blindfolded mice and women's bathing suits." |

 AUTHOR Q & A:
The Dynamics of Rapport: Using Neurolinguistics to Improve Communication
Have you ever felt like you "hit it off" with someone - maybe even after knowing him or her for just a short period of time or discovering that you have very little in common with that person? Still, you just sensed you would get along, despite the reasons why you shouldn't.
Now turn it around. A friend introduces you to someone they just know you'll love. Or you meet someone that you expect to like immediately. Yet you're surprised when you dislike them right off the bat - or you're indifferent to that person, at best. So what's going on and why does this phenomenon happen to all of us? The answer is rapport. |

 CASE STUDY: HOW WHAT'S MY COMMUNICATION STYLE? FIXED A BROKEN TEAM
When the Human Resources Manager of a large company contacted Gary Turner looking for a solution to help her administrative team recover from slumping productivity and low morale, the seasoned consultant knew that a diagnostic assessment was the first order of business. "I immediately recommended to my client that we administer What's My Communication Style? as a diagnostic tool and starting point for intervention. From my experience, I knew the tool would provide an accurate measurement of personal styles within the troubled team."
As expected, the assessment results confirmed that the team was indeed made up of a variety of communication styles. But one metric stood out among the rest, and it was that discovery that helped Gary chart the course for improvement.
