Clear Communication

On a coaching call, a client observed that although he would often tell people in his life what “needed to be done,” it seemed that he ended up always having to be the one whose role in life was to “clean up messes.” The inference was that people in his life weren’t listening or didn’t care and that invariably this was the role that he was apparently “doomed” to always play.

When we looked at the vagueness of his statement and his fear that every request would immediately result in his being obligated to do something in return, he began to recognize his part in not being clear around his own communication.

I requested that moving forward, he not only be specific but also ask people up front if they are available and willing to be held accountable and be open to hearing

“No” or counter offers.

I look forward to seeing the results. Clarity in communication. It’s a beautiful thing.

#Namaste, y’all…….
