Consider this:

Communication is How You Engage with the World

Which means:

Communication skills hold the key to the quality of your connections

Your ability to take all of your emotions, your ideas, your thoughts and your feelings and then internally process and translate them in such a way that both accurately reflects them and allows for others to connect and engage with them, comes down to the effectiveness of your communication skills.  

​

And the same holds true for how you receive and engage with others' perspectives as well. This back-and-forth process is what we call the "communication cycle."

Or put another way:

Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding.

When You Think about it:

Communication Skills are even more critical in Modern Life

We have access to more ways than ever before to communicate. We can communicate faster, broader, and with or without words.

 

And yet...

All these tools have not made us any better at communicating in a way that improves our quality of life. We still struggle with the same things we've always struggled with.

 

And here's why:

Because at the end of the day, effective communication is not about the technology, it's about the individual.

​

It all starts and ends with you.

And here's the truth:

Being a good communicator takes work 

It requires a hearty combination of self-awareness + skills + a willing attitude.

Here's How I Can Help 

My work centers around 4 key aspects for building more effective communication skills. I've outlined these below.  While you can opt to focus on any of them depending on your goals, I have found that starting with discovering "Your WHY" gives you the best foundation and insights to build from -- no matter the outcome you're seeking.

1

Your WHY

Research has shown that what motivates the way you view and interact with the world is largely determined by your WHY.

Understanding and being able to express your WHY, as well as recognizing and understanding the WHYs of others, is a critical first step in more effective communication.

2

Emotional Intelligence

EQ is a skillset that influences your ability to use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.

This includes your ability to coach, innovate, share insights, and inspire confidence in your team members, and can make the difference in your success, and theirs.

Communication Skills

When you communicate more effectively, it's easier to connect with others. Which means it's easier to share your ideas, foster collaboration, influence outcomes, and live authentically.

Building these skills will give you the foundation you need to make sure your life is taking you where you want to go.

4

Supportive Habits

Habits are estimated to influence roughly 95% of daily behaviors, which means any shift you want to make in life has a better chance of sticking if it's designed to meld with your routine in a way that it can more effortlessly become a habit. 

These small changes in daily habits add up over time.
