June 10, 2020Better Communication. Better Collaboration.
How do communication skills lead to better collaboration and engagement with colleagues and clients?
The basics of communication:
You send the message.

You await the message to be received.

And it’s not the outcome you were expecting.

“DOH!”
It’s not a failure, this is your clue to shift your communication style (rate of speech, style of thought, tone of voice, choice of words…)
The responsibility is on you as a communicator.
One of the traps we fall into is we unconsciously ask others to be ‘mind readers’.
And when our expectations are not met or understood, we get frustrated, disappointed.
If you're looking for better collaboration and engagment , this episode is going to feel right.

May 27, 2020 Shift the Turning Point in your conversations- feels right!
Turning points in our conversations are critical. But we often miss them. The clues and cues are more subtle than we imagine.
When this key moment to influence, to connect with another is ignored- the conversation escalates, goes to silence or trust is broken.
We're not ready, we're not being in the moment. We are thinking of the future or stuck in the past.
If we want to influence others, we need to build or awareness- our radar- to shift these pivotal moments.
⭐️Joel Silverstone⭐️ Communications specialist and our host will guide us to stop blaming others and start taking ownership of turning points.
