To My Clients
When clients ask me questions, I frequently answer in emails so I can give them some skills and details. I publish some of those emails here. And when I write a newsletter article, essay, or letter to a group, I also post it here. I, of course, take out any identifying language and remove personal references in theses website versions. However, the information, the skills, and practices I offer are valid, no matter the audience.
Communication is a process of learning how to pay attention, speak clearly, listen thoroughly, and honor yourself as well as the other. Communication is a skill that you can learn with education and practice.
Dear Sir, A Letter From A Communication Consultant
If a speaker's experiencing elevated emotions, usually, they are unable to focus on anything except expressing how they feel. As a leader, listen. That's wisdom. As the team leader, you can direct this process by first speaking to their emotions—reflective listening and responses—and then speaking to their reality. You will achieve your goals, and the team will feel valued as individuals. This is a win-win solution for you and your team.
