FABIC Poster Collection Discussion Groups – Session 30 – Intended vs Interpreted Messages

Poster 48: Intended vs interpreted messages
The message a person intends to send is called the intended message and the message received is the interpreted message. And when they differ, it can come to misunderstandings if not reactions and disharmony. And it is not just the words that count, because behaviours, thoughts and feelings are equally as important.
According to Senior Behaviour Specialist Tanya Curtis, clarification of messages received is an underutilised skill which can go a long way to making every interaction a light and joy-full occasion.

Poster 49: Why is there bullying behaviour?
Bullying behaviour has been on the rise everywhere, from our homes to schoolyards and workplaces. The factors that contribute to it are avoiding responsibility for the behaviour, blaming others for being a victim and not being in control plus not feeling equipped to respond to the life lesson presented.
In this presentation, Tanya Curtis gives equal importance to the part that the person targeted by the behaviour plays. When it comes to deflecting bullying behaviour, the tools are zero reaction, living responsibility, claiming oneself and bringing understanding. Life cannot be controlled, but we can all learn skills that support us to be settled in life.
