Good communication isn't just what you say, it's how you say it and when. As the leader of your team, what is your communication strategy? When will you communicate with your team? What will you be communicating? How will you communicate information? If you have weekly meetings, what is the format—live, virtual, phone? Who will set the agenda? How will notes and important information be kept and shared? Be intentional about how you communicate to your team to avoid misunderstandings and to create a culture of openness.

Here are three things that can help you prepare for a successful meeting or conversation: 1. Get clear about the objective or expectation of the meeting or conversation. This can ensure you are all working towards the same outcome, and get it back on track if it starts to wander. 2. Understand the person or people you will be engaging with - communication style, roles, things that matter to them. Meeting people where they are and respecting who they are encourages greater and more authentic interactions. 3. Manage your mood, energy and emotions. Take the time to get calm, focused and present. Own how you show up to your interactions. Others will respond better to a calm and present person, than to one who is self-unmanaged or negative. A little work ahead can help your efficiency, effectiveness and success. #readyforlife #selfmanagement #meetings #communication #relationships

What most people get wrong about communication: 👇 That arguments are something to win, not something to unravel. I like to think about arguments as knots in the conversation, and what gets worse is when you pull your way and the other person pulls their way... versus looking at it and saying Help me with the knot, how can we unravel this? How can we smooth it out? The next time you find yourself in an argument, take a step back and focus on unraveling the knot, rather than pulling it tighter. #communication #argument #collaboration

Communication must lead to one of those 3 things: 1. Learn something new. 2. Change opinion about something. 3. Take action. This applies to 1-on-1, group meetings, and the messages you write. Otherwise, it's wasting time. Better spend this time on most important tasks.

Effective Communication Matters 🗣️ The biggest communication problem? Listening to reply instead of listening to understand. Let's make a conscious effort to listen with the intent to understand. It can lead to more meaningful conversations, stronger relationships, and better solutions. #Communication #ActiveListening #Teamwork #FingertipSolutions

Assumptions and communication never rhymes Most of the time we believe someone knows what we are talking about Or you go to a meeting and you assume your team members already know what you are talking about Maybe they don't know what you are talking about and you are just going a head It's high time we stop assuming things and begin to ask Ask your group Do you know what we are going to talk about? Are you aware of the reason we are holding this meeting? One of the seven Cs of communication is clarity Be clear of what you are speaking about Also ensure your team members and clients are also aware of #clarity #communication

This method makes communication and relationship with anyone more easier and lasting. People feel a lot comfortable when they are not blamed but receive a feedback or advise about the issue. For example: rather than saying, "You din't do good with the presentation", can be rephrased as: the presentation could have had more details, or, the presentation lacked vital information but can be done better and so on...! hope this helps. #wordsmatter #communication #relationship #personalitydevelopment

It's not about communication, it's about results Let's face it: What do we do? we talk a lot, hold discussions, and attend multiple meetings. But, they are driven by an unorganized approach mostly. Hence, they yield no results and cause more ambiguity. Communication is key, but it's not the only key. **What matters the most is** #Turning talks into actions #Converting discussions into decisions #Driving results, not just dialogue **How do you do that? #Holding discussions with clear objectives #The discussions must lead to decisions about what actions to be taken, who to take those actions, how to take those actions #Continue to follow up and connect to discuss, measure the performance and results It's time to focus on outcome-driven conversations that leads to desired results! #ResultsMatter #OutcomeDriven #EffectiveCommunication #ProductivityHacks #EnglishCommunicationDoctor #CoachMaheshKumar #Passionpreneur
