In Other Words....
Despite the autonomous world we live in, a WIFI signal can make or break us in business or our personal life.
My husband and I gave up cable several years ago in exchange for streaming.
Hiccups were a regular part of our viewing relationship, but the caveat was discarding our inflated cable bill.
Cable was never immune to hiccups either.
We’ve learned to accept the
things we have no control over—let’s just say it’s a process.
On great days we have strong signals connecting us with the outside world through our cell phones, computers, laptops, tablets, and satellite radio
stations, that is until we’re not.
We take WIFI signals for granted just like we do the air we breathe.
The difference is we can’t survive without air; we can survive without WIFI, but we sure don’t want to be without it.
It’s a freedom we’ve become dependent on.
The term signal is defined as a detectable physical quantity or impulse (such as a voltage, current, or magnetic field strength) by which messages or information can be transmitted.
Humans have their own way of signaling to the outside world without the need for WIFI.
Sure, it’s basic communication skills, but the strength of your signal (words) can carry your message far and wide and linger endlessly in the minds of those that have tuned into your message.
Movies, television shows, radio broadcasts and podcasts currently have a rating system to give the viewer a heads-up on what they can expect from the central message.
Unfortunately, at times our
own basic communication messages might benefit from the use of a message rating system:
IF- informative and factual
ES- encouraging
supportive
OU- opinionated and unsubstantiated
HD- hostile and destructive.
Granted, there is no official rating system for our daily, verbal communications; however, don’t be fooled into thinking people don’t subconsciously rate others by the content of their verbal communications.
No WIFI signal needed when it comes to picking up a signal on what kind of a person someone is from a business or personal standpoint.
There are certainly hiccups and signals being crossed during verbal engagements.
Your verbal communications precede you just as your clothing style and hygiene practices do.
In other words, grooming takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to your message selections.
Just imagine what our preview trailer would look like produced and directed by the audience that tunes in to our verbal messages.
Lights, camera, ACTION!
