I have to communicate with what? Ugh....
Reflecting on my career today, there was many a time when frustration hit me as my messages failed to resonate or even just be understood.
I struggled to understand why at the start but over time, I figure out that I needed to work on my communication.
So today, I share some things that have worked for me
💡 Continuous Improvement: Each verbal blunder became a stepping stone for growth. I've made many communication blunders.. and still do... and that's ok but now, every mistake or miscommunication I had with someone is a learning opportunity for me to hone my skills and I treat it like that.
🔧 Adaptation is Key: In today's tech-driven world, where remote work and digital communication reign supreme, I've never written more Slack messages in my life than in today's environment. Is email dead? No but it's definitely not our main source of communication now. I've had to adapt my written communication to the style of the company (sooooo many acronyms and buzzwords), the individual and the role I play on numerous occasions and expect I'll have to keep doing that over and over in my career.
🌱 Never-ending Journey: As technology evolves and the landscape of work transforms (Manage Gen Z anyone..?), so has my communication strategies and ways in which I communicate. I remember those long emails (sometimes reviewed by my manager before sending) with attachments, now - it's a quick slack or a 3 min huddle. Each day brings new challenges, nuances, and insights to navigate and makes me always look at the way I communicate.
