Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Absolutely agree!

"Both use good tone tactics so that the tone helps to invite thoughtful feedback from any audience."

Most people don't like to be told anything. They prefer to be engaged as partners in communication. Asking questions and listening is often more important than writing or saying anything.

Oh, David, I LOVE the emphasis on listening! What a great suggestion you make here for respectful interaction. Can you imagine the fine results on both sides of such communication! bring it on!

Hello Ellen:

I agree with your overall message. However, if a writer gives examples, uses verbaling imagery and includes visual images, that writer is infusing his/her writing with an element of emotion.

Your writing, for example, is always solidly rooted in logic, yet it always has an emotional component IMHO That is part of its appeal :).

Oh yes, Galba, I have to agree all the way. And yet the facts would not be laden with only one way to interpret them -- that leaves no room for the kind of brilliant alternatives that people like you toss into the ring:-)

Do you agree?

I argue -- with you that emotional is GOOD and in fact - I find it to be a solid part of intelligence (intrapersonal) and do not see this as any unfair bias per se.

It's one-sided bias that crowds out all ideas to demand one narrow idea only -- that I suggest will often limit a message.

Thoughts?

Hello Ellen:

I agree with you. A persistent theme in your writing is the notion of balance. I think that's why you are able to comfortably include points 2 and 3, which on the face of it appear contradictory. The fact that your writing stimulates such discussion validates your approach. It encourages me to offer my 2 cents, whereas a biased approach would turn me off entirely.

I say all that Ellen to say that you are my role model for what it takes to be an effective blogger. :). I also know you're very humble, so I hope I haven't made you blush too much. :)

Ellen, My thought is that a word picture helps us visualize something in our mind's eye. Without this readers may not comprehend your ideas fully. If one were to do this creatively, a metaphor works in very few words to express a bigger idea. I note that you do that often in your own writing and that's what gives it such great appeal.

Emails and essays will plays a role to crawl the business to some extend but online marketing will do for .
