Small Talk Vs Big Talk

July 10th, 2009 Joelseah No comments

I was having a drink with my friends recently and we kinda stumbled upon the topic of conversational differences between men and women. Here’s an interesting video illustrating the difference between how the two genders communicate.

The gist of it is that men prefer to go straight to the point. If nothing big happened, then there’s nothing worth mentioning. Women, on the other hand, do not require a major event to create a talking point. Of course, this is pretty much a generalisation and do not accurately reflect the communication style of every single man and woman out there.

Take a look at the video and let me know if you agree with it =)

NLP In Communication

Here’s a pretty good video explaining how NLP can be relevant in our everyday communication. It focuses on how a same string of words can be interpreted differently by everyone. The speaker thus emphasises that it is important to clearly relate your intention to the other party and ensure that the meaning that is being received is exactly what you want to convey.
