031: The Courage to Communicate Effectively

 

Today we discuss how to have and maintain amazing communication in both your personal life and business.

 

We’re communicating all of the time, whether it’s with our selves, our family, friends, partners, community members, or co-workers. But if you think about it, we are not always being our real, authentic, and true selves. We’re run by fears, sometimes resentment or anger, and many other contributing factors within the subconscious mind.

So I want to ask you a question because this is a really important subject. What has ineffective communication cost you? When I look back over my own life, I know that ineffective communication has cost me friends, business partners, and even relationships with family members at certain points in time. These painful experiences could have been avoided altogether if it were for the use of effective communication.

My first guest, Jill Fishman, is a leading expert in communication and connection and is the founder and president of Integrative Corporate Solutions. She specializes in diving deep into corporations and finding out how they can prioritize, fine tune, and build a program that works for both their company and all of their employees. Jill shares great insight on how to become more effective with communicating in the workplace and covers some of the biggest challenges that companies are struggling with today.

“Everyone comes into a relationship or a job, with their own way of thinking that they’re “right.” We come in wanting to win, but how you win is understanding where the other person is coming from because they want to win, too.”  –  Jill Fishman
