This level focuses on the need to know yourself before\ngetting to know others. Knowing yourself\nrequires self-reflection: your basic beliefs, your prejudices,\nand your assumptions about yourself, the world, and your immediate\naudience. Level 2 of the Platinum\nCommunications pyramid has two components: Know Your Self and Develop Deep Self-Awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be genuine requires knowing what makes\nyou tick internally and externally. \nKnowing what triggers your gratitude, anger, helpfulness, sadness, and\nresponsiveness starts discovering the real, authentic YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defaults\ngovern our behavior and differ by individual. \nDefaults are automatic, baseline behavior, and determine what you do\nwhen you don\u2019t think about what you are doing. \nDefaults provide efficiency in things we do regularly. Defaults simplify information processing. Habits are defaults. Defaults can interfere with seeing things from\nnew perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our automatic word responses\nare defaults. When someone says, \u201cGood\nmorning,\u201d a default might be, \u201cWhat\u2019s good about it?\u201d or \u201cSame to you.\u201d When someone says, \u201cThank you,\u201d a default\nmight be, \u201cNo need to do that,\u201d or \u201cYou\u2019re welcome.\u2019 Defaults are unexamined and seldom receive\nfeedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing your name with the\nsame hand is a default. Clasping your\nhands with one thumb over the other is a default. Folding your arms when feeling defensive is a\ndefault. For each of these movements\nforce yourself to use the opposite of your default. Does this feel uncomfortable? Yes, AND you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awareness of your defaults increases\nself-awareness. Explicitly knowing your\ndefaults provides a possibility for changing behavior. Adjusting your personal defaults creates a\nshift in perspective that supports change. \nBeing aware that others have different defaults helps us understand why\nothers see things from differently than us. \nDiscussing default differences is an objective way to reduce tension and\nconflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
