We aim to have a published version in the book shops in December 2012. If you want to learn more about the content before, or get notified, when it is finished, please contact me.
Book of Needs
To me communication starts with the intention to listen to others and to listen to yourself. At some point that means using words. And at a certain level using words becomes an art. It takes a combination of sensitivity, craftsmanship and creativity to deal with situations, where communication doesn’t run as fluent as you want it to.
Find words to describe what you and others need / wish for
Basically there are three reasons to use the Book of Needs:
- find words to describe needs and wishes
- find words that are understood by you and others in the same way
- find words that are also understood (or accepted) outside your work / training
In the Book of Needs you can explore the different words, that are being used to describe universal 'needs'. Using ‘needs’ in your communication, will improve your communication substantially. The book will offer a travel guide for the land of ‘needs’ and ‘wishes’. We believe it's a strong tool. At the same time you still need intention, sensitivity and creativity to reach your destination and the destination of others. The book teaches you the colours, it’s up to you to make a painting of it.
