In preparation for my upcoming DISC Workshop, I am writing about common office communication issues. In this article, I am talking about how you can make yourself understood when you are communicating with others in your office.
Saying what you mean should be one of the easiest things you can do. However, people struggle with this every day. There are many people who feel constantly misunderstood.
If this sounds like you, understand that you’re not alone. Communicating your feelings can be difficult. The underlying issue can be many things, from a fear of public speaking to misunderstanding your feelings.
The key is understanding how other people communicate and how they interpret certain verbal and non-verbal cues. One person may be comfortable dealing with facts and statistics, but others are looking for more “human” interactions.
If you choose the wrong style of communicating for the person you’re speaking to, you’ll find that it’s difficult to explain your thoughts and feelings. That’s why they say, “it is not what you are saying, but how you say it.”
You can learn how to make yourself understood, no matter who you’re speaking to. Sign up for my one-of-a-kind DISC Workshop that’ll show you how to master the skill of speaking to others.
