A SPECIAL KIND OF COMMUNICATION
MAKING THE WORLD MORE BEAUTIFUL AND GAINING APPRECIATION WHILE DOING SO!

Enjoy this video of a remarkable man who has the ability to connect & communicate through his music with his Feline Friends. They are rescued cats, needing healing and a home, of which he has done both…

Taking some observations into the world of humans, this gifted pianist has a permanent audience who give him feedback. They let him know how much they love and appreciate him and the music that he is playing. They are calmed by the music and his ‘approval rating’ which most people would love to have, is an on-going 100%. Without doubt he is their ‘hero’ and these amazing cats are ‘his muses.’

This unusual video is a visual representation of how communication is not just a spoken word. It works on so many levels; body language, intention, attitude, and being attracted by sound other than ‘words.’ His calm and quiet sense of self, has built ‘trust’ among these injured and neglected furry beings, by his selfless ‘actions.’ The IMPACT that this musician is making on his ‘feral audience’ captures how much these animals are indicating their heightened emotional response and total love and approval, showing him with touch, LOVING THE CALMING SOUNDS that he is making playing his piano ‘to and for’ them.

Oh ….that we too could get such an approval rating in our day to day communication, be it in the home, office or socially. Yet if we would like to make this powerful impact in our communication and presentations, we can do so! It starts with making changes in our ways of being. Opening our minds and being totally aware of our inner motivation. Recognising the results we wish to achieve will be received from being conscious and setting our intentions, to create the difference.

The inner dialogue hidden in our sub conscious minds and actions can be improved and changed, resulting in an authentic way of communicating. When we change this inner dialogue with mindfulness, it leads to assist us IMPACTING with grace and truth, when communicating in our world in a meaningful, beautiful and positively pro-active way. This is why I am passionate about communication and how to improve it in our personal relationships and in the office/work.

Perhaps this is a good New Year’s Resolution to follow and work on in 2020?

Oh my Gosh – That is exactly how I felt!

Animals and children have such wonderfully obvious and vivid ways of indicating how they are feeling at any given time.

I AM SURE we have all gone through the same emotions as this ‘Kitty’ and know what it is like to face challenges, especially those we have all faced in the past few years!
With the Festive Season upon us, we can have the intention of joining in on the fun when family and friends get together, but as New Year draws closer, it is time to start making the ‘changes’ we know we need to make, in order to go into 2020 the Year Of Great Change, feeling positive, worthy, powerful, purposeful, and driven.

Depending on how you earn your living, you will need to read the language of your superiors, sub-ordinates, staff, clients, children, family and friends, especially when negotiating deals. So start becoming aware of the Body Language ‘indicators’ those that are fairly obvious and also be very mindful of what it is that you are messaging out there, ‘indicating’ what is sitting in your own sub-conscious mind.

A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS (Especially the picture that YOU paint of what is really going on in your mind!)

“THE LANGUAGE OF THE BODY” WORKSHOP FOUR – Adrienne Verney Productions
Especially good for anyone in management, dealing in the business and private sector, and who deal with the complexities of negotiations (family or business). It is also a wonderful Team Build for a Sales or Marketing Team.

The wonderful language that our body speaks!

Quite a few people adjust their reading glasses with their middle finger; however, the fascinating reality is that the sub-conscious indicator may be an insight into the realm of their unconscious thought, which culminates in this sub-conscious action!

Often our sub-conscious mind will be far more in touch with what is actually taking place. We call this intuition, and with this we often make “judgements” or decisions, without consciously knowing why we have done so.

What is really going on inside one’s thinking, is a clever indicator and will one way or another show the inner beliefs and thoughts of a person. A mother will tune into the body language of her new baby and intuit the needs and wants of her new born child.

Illustrators are non-verbal movements that accompany and illustrate verbal communication. They are linked to speech and can be used to emphasise a word or a phrase, indicate relationships, or draw a picture in the air, pace an event, and impose a rhythm on the spoken word. Although usually made with hands and arms, any sort of body movement which plays a role in verbal communication, can be described as an illustrator.

So, let me see… One has to be careful not to judge or read this explicit language inaccurately. Therefore, how do we read the clue given by Sir James Eadie, distinguished Council for HM Government as he stands before his attentive audience, showing his middle finger? Perhaps he is just “adjusting his glasses” or NOT?

A quest for communication clarity and presentation excellence

I marvel at Deepak Chopra’s clarity and simplicity in explaining the ways in which we can uncomplicated our thinking, and be guided to our sense of true purpose. Possibly, it is because it has taken me so many years to learn this wisdom, including it in my “Self Actualisation and how we use our brain” workshop. Emotional Quotient shows us that “Thought – Intention – Purpose – Understanding – and Expectation” are powerful pointers for Image Intention and Body Language. But how many times do we focus on only one or two or a few words at a time, and fall short of our goal to ‘communicate with excellence’ and/or ‘Present an IMAGE that will make an IMPACT!’ Chopra points out that what we wish to ‘do,’ or ‘be’ needs to be supported in ‘spoken’ clear language CONNECTING our INTENTION and combine all these powerful actions to ensure the wanted results. By OMMITTING some of these impactful words in our consciousness we sell our self ‘short’ and the process we wish to manifest is ‘incomplete.’ As a result, we may find ourselves sometimes dealing with disappointment?

Holism is an important way to bring all positive actions and ways of being with understanding, and I feel strongly that it was part of the strong foundation of the recent success that we are all still revelling in!

The jubilation when our Springbok Champions brought home the World Cup was palpable, and made us all feel like Victors. The Leadership of Coach RASSIE ERASMUS working with THE TEAM and passing on his special brand of COMMUNICATION, worked by his nurturing the innate “leadership ability” of his brilliantly chosen Captain Kolisi. This result surely must have harnessed much THOUGHT, INTENTION, PURPOSE, UNDERSTANDING, and EXPECTATIONS – uniting ‘the team as one!’ The Media spoke Highly of Captain Siya Kolisi’s ability to communicate and they certainly weaved the MAGIC that Nelson Mandela forecasted, by confidently leading his Team to Victory.

It made us all feel like victors and so it should! This attitude that we are all VICTORS is a positive mind-set and approach to cherish and CREATE a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy.’ SO LET’S DO IT!!!! I have a great world cup offer and eight courses for you to choose from, each one relevant for what we are facing and dealing with right now! Thank you Bokke – thank you Rassie and thank you Siya Kolisi

COMMUNICATION, IMAGE AND INTENTIONS!
Boris Johnson has been at no: 10 Downing Street now for the past few weeks, and the world watches his actions and communication with close scrutiny. He certainly has a different COMMUNICATION style and already has a reputation and image for being outspoken. We wait and watch as he settles into his new office.

Leadership

What South Africa needs right now is strong LEADERSHIP.
Our gifts may be in many other areas. Presenting plans, time lines and information to an enlightened audience well, will definitely send a strong message to whoever will need to know that there is a ‘strong Captain of this Company’s ship,” and so the strong message will reach the right target market.
