Improve Communication

Clear effective communication is critical in any relationship – business or personal.

Some leaders find this is a skill they struggle with when managing teams and dealing with a myriad of challenges. Ineffective communication can impact productivity, create stress and conflict in an already complex business world.

A lack of self-awareness can be a contributing factor.

This is not a criticism, but simply acknowledging that people are often thrust into a leadership role without the necessary training in skills like:

Communicating during conflict
Using effective language or understanding body language
Being aware of how the “audience” or those they are trying to communicate with feel about what they are saying.

Lack of these skills can lead to a lack of engagement, misunderstanding and failure to either make the sale or resolve the issue.

There are often expensive consequences to not having good communication skills, which need to be learned.

Simply having the skills to clearly communicate your message or resolve a personality clash can:

Get the project completed correctly and on time
Save time and stress by not having to re-visit issues over and over again
Ensure you have the team you want to work with
Have your team working cohesively and effectively
Keep clients happy which increases loyalty and return business.

If you were to ask someone about their communication skills they would generally think of communication with others

But what about our communication with ourselves. Our ‘self talk’.

What we say to ourselves – our thought process. Sometimes it’s negative and can be harmful and sometimes we justify our thinking and make excuses.

“Knowing how to effectively communicate – not only with others, but also yourself – is critical in managing your thinking and your results.”
