Communication Barriers: How Automatic Differences Create Automatic Problems
Below you’ll find articles about Communication Barriers as well as some links to other relevant articles by me around the web including:
Life is about experiences. We all have them and the diversity is beautiful. But it’s these changing outlooks on life that sometimes create the most common communication barriers.
Think about it. If you were to gather a group of men in one room, despite all the potential differences among them there is a gender experience. And because of that there are certain things that they don’t have to explain to each other.
But this isn’t the only experience that creates unique stories, as well as communication barriers. What about the cultural, economic and national experience? And don’t forget the age, professional and interpersonal experiences? By interpersonal I mean all the unique situations that you have gone through and dealt with from the inside out. I’m talking about the things that have made you a little crazy, a whole lot beautiful and gutsy enough to go after a small business.
These experiences can create automatic communication barriers, if we don’t work to understand each other. Why does it matter to business? Because in the long term, as small business owner we have to be passionate about what we do and we can only successfully market and work with the communities that we respect and understand. The better we understand and communicate our message, then the better we connect.

Inoperative technology requires a backup plan because it can create a serious communication breakdown for small businesses.
