How good your communication skills are?

Communication is the strongest point of any relation, it doesn't matter if we talk about people or professional relations...Heading now for a world where communication will be my daily work, I am even more excited and intrigued of the successes that a good communication can bring...

Ok..so, of course will differ according to the stakeholders you will have to manage, but the outcome is the same: you need to make sure that you communicate the right message at the right time and to the right stakeholders...
Now, if it's to take in consideration also the different cultural background of the people you are interacting with, I can easily say that doing communication is not an easy job!..

We all think we are good communicators...I know I do!! Don't you?
So, why then to start thinking about communication...well, because if is too look around you, you will be surprised to find out how many people think that communication is one of the issue they face..And I am not talking here about over communicating things, but about lack of communication...

Don't take anything for granted...It might come as a surprise, but PEOPLE DON'T READ MINDS! ( and I guess here the guys will sustain me 100% especially if is to apply it to communication in relationships)..Ok, so, yes, I discovered that the people around me don’t know my concerns, my frustrations or my ideas and the reason is very simple: I didn't tell them!!!( I am referring here at communicating clearly and specifically the main topics) I thought: " ok, so if we talk about this and I can through in some hints, they will get it.."

Well, the world is not moving only around me and my concerns…Each person has at least 10-20 areas they need to concentrate and if we don't clearly tell them what we feel, think and need, things will not change...

So, do you know how good your communication skills are?

Glad to know you're still in Belgium. Hope you're having a fantastic time. Anyway, I'm gonna be in Europe soon as the work permit's done dude. They're moving on it pretty slow so I'm a bit ticked off. But I think I should be flying sometime next month.

So yeah, keep me posted on what you're up to cos we're bound to catch up soon now! It's been a while!
