How are your communication skills? Do people misinterpret you all the time? When you talk do folks eyes glaze over? Are they confused by the words coming out of your mouth? Do you have to draw a map or diagram mid conversation to get your point across (looking at all you Northwestern University people)? Are they looking in your eyes or are they on their cellphone? Can they repeat what you just said? Do you send emails in order to give info with no feelings attached (me all day every day)? The list can go on and on, but the bottom line is engaging with that person or group of people. Whether you're at work, school, social events or at church, you must be able to communicate. When you are completing a task for a deliverable, you can't afford mistakes. If you've promised a good or a service, you must honor your word. How you communicate is a reflection of yourself. Oftentimes, muddled messages lead you off course and could potentially ruin any goodwill that you've created. You want to make your impression in a positive way. You want to establish a rapport with that person or group. You want to be included. Connected. Accepted. Approved. There's something to be said about having a sense of belonging. You should have a community of support that you can feel empowered by rather than dreading a meeting. As Summer 2019 comes to a close, I invite you to reevaluate your lines of communication to see if its working for you. Social media can be isolating and cause issues of jealousy, fake realities, or complete mental breakdowns. However, most posts are about joy and gladness and good things going on in life. I know I over post, but I also know that I bring love and happiness to those who take the time with me. So how about you? Talk to me. Leave your comments below whether they're good, bad, or somewhere in between. Thank you for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
