Few things are more important, or more difficult, for leaders than communicating clearly. With so much riding on being able to get your message across, it’s a common struggle for your message to be misunderstood, or missed entirely. Believe it or not, improvement is possible. In this episode, we are going to discuss five familiar communication challenges. Instead of trying to master all five at once, pick one to focus on. Which one will you commit to avoid?
Five Communication Challenges:
- the “I can’t hear you” challenge
- the “all rules, no relationship” challenge
- the “you don’t know me” challenge
- the “why don’t you call or write” challenge
- the “Listen Linda” challenge
You don’t have to master all of them, so choose one to focus on and avoid this week!
