What makes an Effective Communicator?
So some people have been so conditioned by text messages that it can be a bit jarring to talk to somebody because some people outside of their social circles, their family circles, maybe going to the store talking to cashiers, they don't really talk to that much people. So being on a platform such as, well, you can work on your public speaking skills, I guess, or something akin to that. It's just effective skills as a communicator
And if I do have questions, if I'm unsure of something to ask those clarifying questions, yeah, there's no guarantee that that person is going to be honest with me and tell me exactly what they think or feel, but they might give me a little bit more information to work with. And at the very least, I've given them the opportunity to speed and say something the rest of its on them

Seeking plum. Thank you, as always, for participating in the Swells and this one in particular, with effective communication. Communication, right. That's one of the most golden things ever in any relationships, relationships, any relationship, communication is key and essential. But the only problem is that the humans are doing the communication, right. So it can get so convoluted when it doesn't need to be. And yes, vocabulary. I mean, we can even talk about simple words like love

I'm speaking about the different ways that we think and being able to at least comprehend each other because we all think differently. We all see the world differently and then being able to engage can sometimes be, you know, difficult. I mean, obviously we're sort of talking about this whole topic of communication

I think it's a strong trait of a great communicator when you are able to get people of different backgrounds and culture to come together for a certain idea, a certain concept. That's what I always strive to do when I make content or podcast. I have in mind anyone that wants to listen. It's not something I just make for a couple of people. I know I'm trying to do this. Even this swell. A person can hear this four months from now
And even if someone takes it in a different direction, it's okay to have these multiple branches of conversation that stemmed from this one question because we're still learning together. We're still exploring, discovering together. And now it doesn't bother me so much

You have to put a Penny to get into a toilet. A public toilet. So that stuck. It's kind of a nicer way of saying I'm going to take a p***, but, yeah, you could have said I'm going to spend a Penny, but it would just come across the same. But on the platform, I've had it, too. I know what you mean. And people have misunderstood

Oh, man, a word that we used to use for a cigarette in England is f**. But you got a f**, man, I need a bag. And it means cigarette. Yeah, it has a different meaning, right? It means gay. That could be completely misinterpreted. You could say, I need a f**. Have you got a f**? Some people still use that word. I guess it's a derogatory word in the States

Here you go. Duana. Somebody shared this with me the other day. This is quite funny

So I think sometimes that happens to me as well where folks maybe don't feel the need to say something. And I'm like no say something. But I understand some people just like to listen, so I guess it is what it is. And in certain places, like on Instagram, when I ask questions, no one answers, but here they do. It just feels to me like whenever I ask questions, I don't get answers. But when I state something, I get responses

Mark, thank you for taking the time to respond to this swell. And you propose an interesting dilemma. What happens when you come across folks who do speak the English languages, but they reside in the country where it originated. America indeed does have a bastardized version of the English language in the sense that we speak it different sometimes in the Brits, do you all do? And yes, words have different meanings for different cultures. As you stated, the word pop
