Adapt your communication to match the sensory preferences of others from "summary" of Words that Change Minds by Shelle Rose Charvet
When it comes to communication, it is essential to consider the sensory preferences of others. People have different ways of processing information based on their sensory modalities - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. By adapting your communication to match the sensory preferences of others, you can better connect with them and get your message across effectively.
For individuals who are visual, they prefer to see things in order to understand them. They are likely to use phrases such as "I see what you mean" or "It looks good to me." To communicate effectively with visual people, use visual language such as "Let me show you" or "Can you picture this?" Providing charts, graphs, and other visual aids can also help convey your message more clearly to visual individuals.
On the other hand, auditory people process information best through listening. They tend to use phrases like "I hear you" or "That sounds right to me." To communicate with auditory individuals, use auditory language such as "Let's discuss this" or "Tell me more about it." Speaking clearly and using descriptive language can help you connect with auditory people and effectively convey your message.
Kinesthetic individuals, on the other hand, prefer to learn through hands-on experiences and physical sensations. They often use phrases like "I feel that" or "It doesn't sit right with me." To communicate with kinesthetic people, use kinesthetic language such as "Let's get a feel for this" or "Can you grasp what I'm saying?" Providing practical examples and allowing kinesthetic individuals to engage in activities can help them better understand your message.
By understanding and adapting to the sensory preferences of others, you can improve your communication skills and build stronger connections with those around you. Whether you are speaking to a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic person, tailoring your language and communication style to match their preferences can help you convey your message more effectively and ensure that you are understood.
