If you know me well you’ve probably read the title of this post
and sniggered to yourself. Abena writing a blog post about communication may
sound like a joke to some of your ears.
For so long I’ve thought of myself as a great communicator
as I have no problem with being vocal about what I’m thinking. If someone told
me I was a poor communicator in discussions or disagreements I’d probably laugh
at them.
Well its seems as though the joke is on me as several people
close to me have recently pointed out that they find it hard to communicate
with me because I don’t listen. It took me a while to understand where they
were coming from before I realised that for so long I’ve been listening to
reply and not to understand.
