The Power of Communication: Lessons from Helen Keller

And for me, and just like you, Greg, you're mentioning, you see tell signs, you see it. Me, I think the purest form of communication is verbal because congruence is when audio matches the visual and usually it's inconsistent. And so let's think about, and you're talking about learning sign language and one of the greatest communicators, the master communicator of all time was Helen Keller. And there's a Helen Keller Institute here for blind and deaf children. Now, The late Helen Keller lost her sight and her hearing. We on the phone, we were taking away our taste, touch, and smell. The scientists say that your senses should be expanded when they're taken away. And so once again, Helen Keller mastered so many mediums of communication and all of the presidents like Eisenhower and Kennedy wanted to meet her and she was a phenomenal. And so with all due respect to this master communicator, I wanted to take advantage of this special superpower. We talked about active listening. It should be there.
