What do you do in a relationship if communication isn’t leading to change?

March 9th, 2010 admin Posted in Relationship Communication 9 Comments »

We are communicating about the current issues in our relationship but nothing is changing. I’m getting tired of feeling like everything goes in one ear and out the other. I just want to stop talking and caring because its exhausting.
We have a child together.

You cannot change someone if they do not want to change. The only thing you can control is your reaction to that person. Try reacting in a different manner – you may be surprised at the result!

what is communication in a relationship?

March 5th, 2010 admin Posted in Relationship Communication 8 Comments »

when people say you need communication in a relationship, do they mean you need to just talk about stuff like the weather or each others interests or do they specifically mean talk about problems, like telling your partner it bothers them when you come home late, etc… or is it both. How often should you communicate also?

I think it’s both. You definitely want to let your partner know how you feel about things (good and bad). If s/he does something that shows thoughtfulness, make sure that you acknowledge their actions. On the other hand, if you feel that s/he was being inconsiderate by staying out all night without calling, then you need to voice your concerns about that, too. Always try to express your feelings in a loving way. Good luck!

How can I make communication in my relationship better?

March 3rd, 2010 admin Posted in Relationship Communication 2 Comments »

Our communication has been a little shaky over the past couple of days. My girl has been busy with school and work and hanging out with her friends. We haven’t really talked much on the phone. What can I do to restart our good communication? I kind of wanna tell her that it bothers me when I can’t talk to her. Maybe I should just give her her space and not be so needy….What should I do?

If it’s only a couple of days I don’t think is time for you to do anything just ask her if all is good. Relationships some times have small up and downs. Now, I will be concern if that goes to a couple of weeks than try to talk to her, either she will tell you where the fault is than you guys can start working on the problem. Or"" she will just not say anything and not cooperate, than you will know is time for you to move on.

Is communication important in a relationship in a marriage/relationship?

March 1st, 2010 admin Posted in Relationship Communication 10 Comments »

If so then how come most women shut us men off when things go downhill in a relationship

when we men want to approach the women and want to discuss what went wrong or what misunderstanding that could’ve occurred they say "oh i need space", "can’t talk now", "please leave me alone"

Are women using that as an excuse to get out of the relationship?

SHut off communication to create even more drama and misunderstandings?

then how come when guys want to discuss what went wrong and when they put thelir lives on hold and put everything else aside, take time off, put their pride away and initiate a convo about the relationship to women, they shut us off…why is that when we hold our end of the deal they don’t understand that and want to go over things WHEN THEY FEEL IS THE RIGH TIME

is it just American women?

or is it like that everywhere

Depends on the woman, the man, and the stage of their relationship. If either party is immature, communication is probably going to be poor at any time in their relationship.

What I’ve seen and experienced in a relationship, is when one of you (not necessarily the man or woman, can be either) is upset, and tries to tell their partner, for whatever reason, the partner doesn’t listen or take it seriously (they’re stressed out, working too much, don’t think it’s a big deal, or they could be selfish). If this happens a number of times, the partner who is not being listened to will tune out more and more. Finally, when there is practically no communication going on, the other partner wakes up and wants to know why the other person is upset. By then, a lot of people are so hurt, and feel so rejected, they don’t care anymore about the relationship.

Now, no matter what the other person does to try to patch things up, the trust and respect has been broken. It’s too little too late for some partners.

Been there, had it done, and done it (when younger and very immature).

Business Communication, Relationships

February 28th, 2010 admin Posted in Relationship Communication No Comments »

Video from our FREE Online Business Course
http://www.myownbusiness.org
Session 3 – Computer & Communication Tools

Question:
“Please expand on the role of communication tools in business.”

Gwyn Myers, Ph. D.
Management Consultant

Topics covered in this video:
Business computers, phones, meetings, communication, promotion

Transcript:
First of all, we used to have computers as an option but no longer. Obviously telephones and mobile phones are the ways that you reach people and the way they reach you. But I think a lot of the times the computer has become a bit of a crutch and keeps you on the inside where we know where all the costs are. And it’s really easy and it’s certainly not as threatening to just fire off some emails and do that type of thing.

But I think we need to set goals and say to ourselves: “Today I am going to personally call at least six people and set up at least one meeting.” Because there is no substitute for building that relationship and it’s still something that differentiates you and demonstrates your excitement and persistence about your product. You need to spread that message and it’s very difficult to do that by sitting in your living room all day long typing up emails to people.
So I think we need to look at communication as a tool again but we need to round it out and say: “I am not going to sit here and fire off emails which is the easiest thing for me to do. I am a busy entrepreneur. I am going to use the phone. I am going to call people and I am going to use myself to go out there and generate this excitement about what I am selling.”
