Communication: Clarity and Self-Awareness are Key

Thoughts or comments? Send us a text!A question: why does communication break down so easily when we have so many ways to connect? We talk through how silence, softened needs, and rushed messages create confusion, then lay out simple ways to speak clearly in relationships and professional life. • naming how social media comments can hide judgment and cruelty • noticing how we soften our message and expect mind reading • advocating for what we want with calm, clear language • pausing instead of shutting down and promising we will come back • asking for the other person’s perspective and checking what they heard • avoiding blame language and owning what old wounds get activated • spotting how messy email threads, texting, and voice to text create workplace confusion • seeing customer service failures as communication gaps, not just logistics • sharing recent author events and why connecting with people matters Support the showBUY ME A COFFEE or SUPPORT ALFIE'S TREAT STASHLearn more about my book, Nature Knows: Grow and Thrive through the Wisdom of Plants HERE.Comments about this episode?
