Driven to Communicate

I never send forwards. Never. But I just had to share the above youtube with you—or bust. Nanipops is all about communicating—male or female. And this little girl has an awful lot to say. She’s a master at being heard. A child prodigy communicator. And yes, I hope her parents have been blessed with exceptional listening skills!

Google effective communication and you will get 61,900,000 hits. That’s a LOT of people thinking about how to connect with others in a meaningful way! Why so many? Could it be we are connecting globally 24/7, yet remain untouched, unsatisfied, internally disconnected?

I do not believe this need for verbal connection is a gender thing—though my husband is rolling his eyes as we speak. Words are absolutely amazing whether used by guy or girl. With them we can take a thought in our heads, or a feeling in our hearts, and create this same thought or feeling in another human being. We can touch them without using our hands. Because of WORDS! Is that not astounding? Communicating effectively is a part of being validated as a person—and validating others.

I am driven to communicate—which is not the same as yakking. I enjoy interactive conversations with all kinds of people, helping them find a way to say it with chocolate!
