Fierce Tip of the Week: Focus on Quality

When I walk into the Fierce office on hectic Monday mornings, I feel grateful for the work I do and, very specifically, the people I do with it.

This Thursday, Fierce will be celebrating our spot on the 2014 Puget Sound Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list. One of the determining factors is the quality of relationships that exist within the company.

Speaking from the Fierce lens, we know that the quality of our relationships are directly impacted by the quality of our conversations. If we want authentic relationships, we need to fully show up openly in our conversations.

One of my colleagues, Chris Douglas, has an amazing ability of really listening and asking questions about anything I bring to her. I appreciate it so much, because I always walk away with new insights and feeling so respected.

Do you have a person like that in your life? Are you that person to someone?

This week, focus on the quality of your conversations. Bring the characteristics you want for your relationship to the dialogue.

How are you going to focus? Do tell.
