...you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist... - Indira Ghandi These powerful words remind us that openness and collaboration are key to creating meaningful connections and achieving mutual success. Here’s why embracing this philosophy is crucial: 1 | Embrace Vulnerability: How? Be Transparent. Why? Transparency builds trust. When you openly share your thoughts and intentions, it not only clarifies your communication but also invites others to do the same. This can lead to a deeper understanding and stronger relationships, both professionally and personally. 2 | Compromise to Synergize: How? Find Common Ground. Why? Finding common ground, even in conflicting situations, paves the way for inventive solutions that benefit all parties. This not only resolves potential conflicts but also enhances the creativity and productivity of the collaborative efforts. 3 | Cultivate Empathy: How? Put Yourself in Their Shoes. Why? Understanding others’ perspectives and feelings can significantly improve your interpersonal interactions and negotiation capabilities. Empathy allows for more compassionate dealings and can pave the way for more equitable and sustainable agreements in your professional life. Every handshake starts with an open hand and an open heart. Let’s unclench those fists and make way for partnerships that thrive on trust, understanding, and mutual success.

Today, I had an eye-opening experience during a team meeting that I believe many of us can learn from. . . . . . My boss posed a seemingly simple question: “When did we get our independence?” We confidently replied, “Um, 15th August, 1947.” To our surprise, he repeated the question. We exchanged puzzled glances. Wasn’t that the right answer? As he asked again—two or three times—we found ourselves stuck in a loop of confusion. What could we possibly be missing? Finally, he clarified: “The answer is not 15th but 14th of August, 1947.” We were taken aback. Then came the kicker: “You guys have weak listening skills. I asked when we got our independence not when we celebrate it.” The Takeaway This experience taught me two crucial lessons about communication: 1. The Power of Clarity: How we phrase our questions matters. A clear and concise question can lead to more effective responses. If my boss had framed his question differently, we might have avoided the confusion altogether. 2. The Impact of Repetition: Repeated questioning can create uncertainty, even if the initial answer is correct. It’s essential to foster an environment where questions are asked constructively, allowing for thoughtful responses rather than anxiety. Key Lesson: Effective communication is a two-way street. Strive for clarity in your questions and be mindful of how repetition can affect confidence and understanding. Let’s aim to create conversations that empower rather than confuse! #CommunicationSkills #Leadership #ActiveListening #Teamwork #LearningMoment

Thinking intelligently involves mindful reflection, where you pause to consider your words and thoughts before responding, ensuring they are thoughtful and considerate. It requires empathy, understanding others' perspectives, and crafting responses that are respectful and supportive. Clear and precise communication is essential, as it minimizes misunderstandings and fosters better comprehension. Respect and courtesy should be maintained in all interactions, acknowledging differing opinions and upholding dignity. Constructive feedback is also key, focusing on the issue rather than the person, and offering solutions to promote positive dialogue. This approach avoids the pitfalls of reacting impulsively or illiterately, which can harm relationships and hinder effective communication. . . . . .

Have you been in a meeting where you have tried to make your point, but you know it isn’t being heard? Or you see that people are smiling and nodding when you are talking, but really they have their own agenda and nothing is going to actually change? Well, you aren’t alone. One of the biggest causes of being unhappy at work is not feeling heard, which can easily lead to not feeling respected or valued. For example: - Not feeling heard by your manager might lead to thoughts such as, “What’s the point? I’m working hard but it’s not being noticed. They don’t think I’m good enough”. - Not feeling heard by your peers can lead to “They don’t like me”, “All they want is to get ahead of me” or “They just think I’m a threat”. - Not feeling heard by people you manage can lead you to doubt your own abilities as a leader. Have you ever experienced anything like these examples? Can you see the similarities between them? In each of the examples above, the reaction of others is having an impact on our own feelings of self-worth, leading us to question ourselves and doubt our own abilities. The reality is that every exchange between two or more people is influenced by numerous factors, a lot of which are completely unconscious. This is especially true in a work context where there is often an unspoken competition within teams, and yet everyone needs to maintain a persona of professionalism even in times of disagreement. Understanding more about yourself, including your communication style, your attachment style, your strengths and weaknesses, and your different needs, can help you to take much more control of how you interact with others at work. In turn, if you can start to uncover exactly what it is about the people who you feel “don’t listen” to you, it can help you feel much more empowered in how you speak with them. Everyone is different, and there won’t be a single ‘self-help’ guide that is completely right for you. Perhaps one or two Purpose mentoring sessions with me, Steve Twinley, will help you feel more empowered? Please get in touch to find out more! #purpose #wellbeing #communication #team

? "?????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ??????????????????????????." - Tony Robbins ? I recently came across a powerful reminder from #Tony Robbins about the true #purpose of communication. Whether we’re speaking up to share joy or reduce negative emotions, the goal is almost always to feel better—and help others do the same. Here are some key takeaways that resonated with me: Communication is about feeling better: We communicate to share our emotions, influence outcomes, and enhance our relationships—ultimately to improve how we feel. 1. ???????????????? ???????????? ???? ??????????????????????????: During stressful moments, our communication falters. Before we speak, we must pause and ask, "What do I need to feel better?" This shift creates clarity and prevents emotional outbursts. 2. ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????????????: Upsets come from unmet expectations. By adjusting our beliefs and interpreting others’ actions with a more positive intent, we can foster healthier connections. 3. ???????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ???????? ??????: Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources available. Shifting our #focus from blaming to understanding can transform our relationships. 4. ?????????? ????. ????????????????????????????: Blaming others may seem easier, but taking responsibility #empowers us. When we own our role in the situation, we unlock the path to better communication and ultimately, a better life. Let’s aim to #communicate not only to feel better ourselves but to leave others feeling better too. ?? #Communication #responsibility #EmotionalIntelligence #TonyRobbins #Leadership #PersonalGrowth

TRUST One word that moves the world. It is perhaps the most significant and impactful word because of what Trust can do and its scarcity. There is no better example of trust than the Forces. It is the life and blood. We live for it and we die for it that’s the level of trust. Trust is a glue that holds us together. Our very existence depends on trust. What is trust? Trust is knowing someone has your back. Trust is believing that come what may nobody will let you down and you will not let any body down. Trust is a feeling, we need to earn trust. Trust is the soul of Leadership. Why is trust necessary? Trust is necessary because we don’t have all the information about everyone or everything and hence we need to trust to fill the gap. It involves an element of risk that we can’t take with everyone. How to build trust? ? Be trustworthy first. ? Believe in yourself and others. ? Create an environment which enables and promotes trust. ? Walk the talk. ? Keep your word-be credible. ? Stop judging. ? Be open and flexible. ? Listen, really listen. ? Communicate with honesty and sincerity. ? Accept your mistakes without excuses. ? Be comfortable with not knowing and being vulnerable. Trusting teams can do incredible things.

??? Are we asking the right questions in our professional lives? It’s time to rethink our approach! Effective questioning requires vulnerability and strong listening skills—qualities many of us struggle with. Research shows that 60-90% of Americans admit to having poor listening skills. Often, we interrupt or think about our response instead of truly connecting. This narrow mindset limits our potential for collaboration and innovation. But what if we shifted our focus? Good questions can open meaningful conversations, providing not just clarity but also essential space for reflection. This deliberate pause can cool emotions, foster understanding, and ultimately lead to better decision-making within our organizations. Let’s embrace mindful curiosity and humility! By cultivating an environment where meaningful questions thrive, we can deepen relationships, enhance our learning, and unlock new opportunities. ????
