Each and every day, you have conversations, go to meetings and spend time with others.
These contacts either add value to you or drain your energy.
Communication is a 2-way street and each time you engage in a conversation, you become responsible for your end of the interaction.
What is the usual result of your communications? Are you uplifted or depleted? Bored or excited? Confused or clear? Encouraged or frustrated?
If you find much of your outcomes are either negative or neutral, it may be a signal for you to improve some of YOUR communication skills.
Action – If you want to feel more confident and influential, find a course, coach or mentor to guide you. Enroll in a public speaking class, learn new writing skills or even read up on linguistics.
Communication is part of your personal power and how you use it is your responsibility.
