Marriages break up en masse, friends and family have bust-ups that seem irretrievable, business relationships break-up, neighbours go to war and so too do nations. Ninety nine times out of one hundred it is because of a lack of communication or a communication breakdown.

Do you remember sitting in the classroom at school and studying mathematics? Or English or Physics. How much of it do you remember today? How much of it do you use today? Indeed how much of it do you really even need to use today? Do you remember all of those tedious communication lessons? No? Strange. Nor do I. The fact is that during your school years you probably learned quite a lot about maths, English, art, geography, physics, biology, and chemistry. You probably also studied a foreign language or two and had to do your homework piece on platetechtonics and the Earth's crust. But how much of it do you remember, need to remember, or use on a day to day basis. I would suggest little or none.

Do you remember all of those interesting lessons about people? Learning about what makes people tick? Lessons about how to understand other people and how to communicate with them? Maybe you don't remember those lessons either. Which is even stranger if you stop and think about it, because, after you left school, the one thing that you will have had to do more than anything else is to deal with people - work for them, have them work for you, work with them, try to understand them, try to motivate them, have other types of relationships with them, console them, support them, like them, love them, and generally interact with them.

Yet today marriages break up en masse, friends and family have bust-ups that seem irretrievable, children don't talk to their parents for extended periods of time, business relationships break-up, career problems arise, battles rage in the workplace, neighbours go to war and so too do nations. Ninety nine times out of one hundred it is because of a lack of communication, an inability to communicate, or a communication breakdown. Surely that makes communication one of the most important things that you could possibly have learned at school! If not the most important thing that you will ever have to learn.
