Episode highlights:
When it comes to communication, it really is such an important thing. And with technology, for as great as technology is, sometimes communication is getting impaired because of technology. So for example, everybody's got a cell phone ready in their holster, for lack of a better term, or right there in their back pocket. It's readily available.
And because of that, people don't have the skill set to communicate consistently and effectively, so very specifically. Let's talk about eye contact. People don't always have the ability to hold eye contact. And in our culture, eye contact is important. People don't always have the ability to really understand that when there's a disagreement.
When we're having interactions with people, it's really important to be able to not only engage with our words, but really engage with our facial expression and with our body language so that we're able to communicate effectively to other people.
Most people think that Speech Pathologist just help people with their words or with their sounds as in, instead of saying "wabbit", we help people say "rabbit". And that's true. We do. but we also help them in the art of communication as in knowing how to navigate conversations, knowing how to effectively network, knowing how to effectively stand and give a presentation without having a meltdown.
