Compassionate Communication

I find most people easy to be around, but others are a different story entirely. It's not that they're mean, per se; rather, others get along with them just fine - and usually so do I. But these particular people present a challenge because I find it difficult to understand their way of communicating. Usually that means I have to put more effort into understanding what they're trying to say and consciously work not to take their words the wrong way. In essence, this barrier is based on the fact that we have entirely different styles or modes of communication. What I've learned, though, is that it's worth working toward better understanding of and communication with these people. Honing in on these differences and learning to interpret them effectively is challenging, but those relationships are often fraught with incredible rewards.

You've likely encountered someone like this as well, whether it's a co-worker, a family member or a friend of a friend. Often these people present challenges because they put us in the mind of people with whom we've had problems in the past - which generally means we're both frustrated by them and oddly attracted to them at the same time. This week I challenge you to work harder when you encounter someone like this, seeing if you can develop a better relationship with this type of person this time around. You might find yourself surprised by what the new approach to the relationship brings.

Tito's Wisdom

"It is not so much the content of what one says as the way in which one says it. However important the thing you say, what's the good of it if not heard or, being heard, not felt." ~ Sylvia Ashton-Warner

Ready for Change? Special Discounted Coaching Offer!

Are you ready? Or are you nervous, uncertain, worried? I've just started a new chapter of my own, and those descriptive words have been running through my mind ever since I welcomed my baby girl Phebe into my life on May 10.

The Secret Weapons of a Good Business Leader

"The very core of leadership is that you need to have vision. You can’t blow a hesitant trumpet." This is what well-known scholar Theodore M. Hesburgh said about leadership. Leadership is a very desirable attribute among successful people no matter what type of business they are in. And if you talk about business, then leadership is a must for carrying out your tasks effectively. Thus, every successful entrepreneur embraces some leadership quality within herself.

But the reality is that being a leader is not that easy. Everyone is not a leader; in fact, we cannot be leaders if there are no followers. Many people believe leadership as such is a human trait that is possibly related to genetics—that people inherit their leadership skills by birth. Leaders possess some unique qualities that allow them to easily motivate others. Let’s take a few minutes to review the different qualities or skills good leaders possess.
