CHAOS COMMUNICATION: Is there too MUCH STATIC in the AIR?

Is there just too much or too little going on right now! Your phone is chirping, tweets are posting, facebook is sharing, text is crashing, email is getting boring and who still even has a land line home phone?


Communication is spinning, growing and zooming by us. Is there too much static in the air. Can you even hear when someone is face to face talking to you?

Can you even slow down to see what is right in front of you?

I have a great concern for the generation that has no idea how to communicate without texting or carrying on a conversation on a real house phone (in which that is now looking like a bag cell phone to many) or the child that has no clue what a pen pal is...

I am still a huge believer in building relationships face to face with a handshake, a hand written card and phone call! However, in the social media age that we are in businesses that are growing and doors that are being open that would have never been open before without the communication platforms that we are experiencing...yeah...Like here are just a few...By tomorrow there will be 100 more!

Is there too much or too little or is it just that

It Iz What It Iz?

My tip for the day...Work with it...run with it...but pay attention to it and do not get so caught up that you forget to communicate in other ways...the best answer to calm all of the static in the air is found in each persons own ability to control and balance it all!

Business is about prospecting, networking and staying in touch. When the doors open or the right pieces of the puzzles fall into place a masterpiece is born.

*Use communication platforms to meet new people.

*Open new doors!

*But do not forget how to open the door for others and remember how to use old school communication to work for you.

Snail mail me...I challenge you! You mail me and I promise to mail you back!

I Challenge each of you to open your eyes to keep old school methods of communication in place while leaping forward with this lightening speed communication...Find a new contact on Twitter, ActiveRain, LinkedIn or FaceBook, then do the following...Take the NEXT STEP: THE WOW APPROACH!

Pick up the phone and call and then follow up with a real card! Sure, send an email but also send a real "Nice to Meet you"card...Teach your children to do the same, teach your employees to keep a full circle of communication open.

We are still human.

We like to see, touch, smell and feel!


Balance it...Control it...Communicate with all of it! Do you agree? Are in overload as well?
