The Clarity Factor A Parable of Understanding
Author: Ray DiZazzo

Ever wonder what it would be like to actually peer into someone?s mind and see how they perceive you as you speak to them? If you?re a boss, for instance, how is that employee viewing you when you nonchalantly utter, "By the way, I need your report on my desk by Friday morning." Or, as a parent, what do your kids envision when you look down ... more »wearing your sternest poker-face and declare, "No staying out till midnight - period." And what about your spouse? What kind of mental images do you conjure up in his or her mind with, "Look, I?ve had it with these continual arguments!" Impossible to see inside someone else?s head, you say? Not for author Ray DiZazzo in his unique new book, THE CLARITY FACTOR. Written in a refreshingly chatty, upbeat style, DiZazzo uses the vivid dreamscape of finance supervisor, Gloria Donovan to let us (and her) glimpse how people view her in a series of important business and personal conversations. For Gloria, this "gift" of sorts is not always easy to deal with, but it certainly is an eye-opener. About what? Verbal clarity - how clearly we speak and listen. What people hear in their own minds as our words are spoken. Often it?s not what we think or want, and as this book makes perfectly clear, that can have a profound affect on our lives. According to DiZazzo we each have a "Clarity Factor" - an internal measure of how clearly we?re understood and how well we understand those who speak to us. DiZazzo points out that in most cases the average person?s Clarity Factor is, shall we say, a bit on the "cloudy" side. In fact, he says most of us are actually walking around in a kind of garbled, verbal daze half the time, but we don?t realize it! Why? For three reasons. First, we feel we?re too busy to work on basic communication skills. Second, we assume we don?t need to. We?re brought up with the mistaken perception that talking is like walking - an instinctive reaction. And most important, we don?t use DiZazzo four simple "Focal Points" to sharpen our words, clear the static from our cerebral receptors, and polish our Clarity Factors to new levels of conversational prowess. Now you might think that the pay-off for using DiZazzo Focal Points would be just what we?d all expect from a communication book - less stress, more efficiency, stronger relationships, better productivity, reduced frustration, and so on - as if that weren?t enough! But something more comes with this highly engaging little tale - an amazing byproduct of verbal clarity we call basic human understanding. In other words, an ability to focus on the sensitivities of those we communicate with - to tune in to their message so precisely, we can hear "between the lines" as they speak. That?s right, The Clarity Factor gives us a way to actually connect on a new, more profound level with people and the world around us. You know the one - that fragmented, fast-paced, constantly churning sea of humanity we?re all treading water in. And the result? Increased self-confidence, a spiritual sense of personal well-being, and rich, deep relationship harmony. The Clarity Factor winds up with an unexpected, hard-hitting emotional twist. It drives home how important and simple, yet unfortunately rare true clarity is in both our business and personal lives. The good news is DiZazzo also gives us a simple, entertaining, sure-fire way to solve the problem.
