Consistently good communication with your team; clients; family; subordinates; bosses, is a learned skill. When we listen to others and pay attention, the details of what is needed show up easily. We can then modify how we communicate, when we communicate and what we communicate to make the desired outcomes work. It just feels good when communication works well.

When it does not work well, we do not feel we have been heard…others feel like they have been ignored and not taken seriously.

How are your communication skills? Are you listening? Are they able to listen and easily respond to you?
