Joe takes on speaking assignments on the topic: "Understanding the Real Message."

Understanding communication is a critical and complicated, complex process. We learn early to listen to what people say; not what they did not say or what they really mean. Using forensic linguistics, we will break down the communication process and help the attendee better understand what is being communicated, what is not, and why precise and accurate communication results in better, factual, and more ethical decision making. The process includes asking the right question, the right way, at the right time. Equally important is the minimization of contamination.

These are the learning objectives:

• Learn how to understand the "real" message.
• Recognize and interpret partial truths.
  • Understand the ethical importance of proper question structure to ascertain the truth.
  • Acquire the truth through proper questioning and analysis.  
• Use mutually understood words/phrases to reduce “wiggle.”
• Carefully structure questions to eliminate contamination.
• Ask simple questions, then shut up.
