The 7% Rule

 

In his book, Silent Messages, Albert Mehrabian conceived of the 7% rule.  He argues that only 7% of our power to influence others depends on the words we choose.  93% is dependent on our body language or tone of voice.   It's fascinating that when Moshe descends Mount Sinai his first challenge is to decode voices.  His disciple Yehoshua hears the cacophony of the Golden Calf and perceives it as the voice of war.  Moshe corrects him and informs him that these were in fact the echoes of blasphemy. 

 

At a critical junction in life, God instructs Avraham to listen to whatever his wife Sara has to say.  The exact instructions were "Shema Bekola" - listen to her voice.  Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) comments that the directive was to listen to her voice not her words. 

 

One of our main challenges in life is to decode the messages of others - to hear beyond the words.  In a world more and more disconnected from the human face and voice we start with a 93% disadvantage.  Let's reclaim meaningful interactions and let's start by hearing the voice.

 

Shabbat Shalom! - Rabbi Daniel Green
