Thoughts from Joyce

Do you agree with George Bernard Shaw? People think that they are great multitaskers. They don’t see how many communication mistakes take place when they are not concentrating on the person right in front of them. I’m guilty of this also and do what I can to put down the phone when someone is in front of me. The next time someone accuses you of not listening, agree with them and lift your eyes up. It’s not rocket science and we all need to improve in this area. It’s ALL generations! 😉

Spite is Punishing Yourself for Someone Else’s Actions

Have you ever been mad at a colleague for being habitually late for client meetings?
Is there someone at work who is disorganized and counts on you for finding misplaced items?
Do these behaviors stress you out internally?

If so, you will enjoy this post which is about letting go of your anger and gaining back control.

Many of you have heard me say, “You can’t put your head on anyone else’s shoulders.“ These words help my clients when they get angry at a person.

You may be extremely organized and send out client proposals immediately. Your colleague or direct report may be a procrastinator. You can change your actions and can’t change a person who is always late, negative, or just a mediocre worker.

Of course, if you are a leader may need to send your direct reports to workshops or classes. You need to discipline others due to productivity issues. Your star employees will appreciate this – big time!

Stop getting mad at a person when they can’t help being late, passive, or disorganized. Believe me when I say these behaviors are barriers which will stop them from their own success.

Stay tuned because I am developing new coaching strategies which include knowing your triggers and how you can become less stressed by others’ actions. I will share this new information soon! I promise. 🙂

A Proven Tip- Improve Your Communication Skills Now

Being honest might not get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right ones. – John Lennon

John’s quote fits perfectly with today’s theme. The toughest communication is one that you may have with yourself!

Most of us think that we are great listeners and communicators. If we are as good as we “think” – why are there so many communication breakdowns at work or home?

The answer is…

Us! That’s right, you read this correctly. I am guilty of thinking the very same thing. I know this is true when giving directions for a group activity and the group looks at me like deer staring at headlights. It’s NOT them. It’s the way I gave the directions. Believe me, I am continuously learning how to improve and I’m a Communication Strategist!

So, Joyce How Can I Start Becoming a Better Communicator?

Look at the list below and see what areas you need to develop in order to communicate better.

Be brief and concise-get to the point
Be forceful and definite rather than hesitant and apologetic
Talk in specifics-give examples and details
Talk in generalizations and explanations
Let others know when I disagree with them
Let others know when I am getting irritated
Listen more than I speak with others
Talk in group discussions

Now What, Joyce?

Select one or two areas and make a conscious effort to work on these skills immediately. If you need to talk in group discussions, start giving your opinions or even ask a question. Some of these areas could be holding you back from growing as a leader.
