Analysis of Ordering from a Tim Horton’s drive thru is the most basic and simple way to demonstrate good communication:i.e.: Incomplete Data: “I’d like a double double and a chocolate glazed donut”Incomplete Feedback: “coffee with a double cream, double sugar. what size?Additional Data: “a medium, please”Feedback “ A double double medium coffee and a chocolate donut?”Clarifying data: “NO, a LATTE and a chocolate GLAZED donut!”Clarifying Feedback: “a double double medium Latte and a chocolate glazed donut?”Confirming data: “Yes, that is correct”Conclusions: “that will be Three dollars and sixty nine cents, please”NO name calling or sarcastic remarks! How many marriages would be saved and how many children would be spared the trauma of being cut off from a parent if only couples used the simple techniques of communication used at a Tim Horton’s drivethru?
