Importance of communication
The words we choose, how we say what we say, and the energy we put into our words all have an intent when we communicate with others.
In our every day life, it takes a significant number of exposures to remember what we’ve seen, heard and read. Sometimes a thought can be communicated in a slightly different way by a different person and the point resonates. It depends on when we are ready to receive the message and whether we’re open to receiving the information that is being presented to us.
Communication is so important in our daily working life. I wrote about the importance of communication in my earlier blog posts — Why Communication is Important — Part 1 and Why Communication is Important — Part 2.
Here are some of my further findings as below.
Why communication is important (in no particular order):
It helps tie things together so that everyone is on the same page ie. to have greater alignment. Within a company, to make sure that everyone is saying the same thing about your product/service and not different things so that you don’t confuse the customer.
It helps you to understand yourself better and communicate your wants and needs better to your team and customers.
Communicating what you want and need helps everyone work better together. There is no guessing what the other person wants and needs. You know because it’s expressed and clear. If you don’t know what you want and/or need, it’s a good opportunity to ask yourself and look within.
To come to an effective and collaborative solution once you have more information.
To share stories and experiences so that others can relate and empathize.
To help with connection.
To focus on serving the customer.
To create less stress and inefficiencies based on old and outdated information.
To focus the brain so that it knows what to concentrate on.
To give attention to the issues that need attention; to prioritize what needs to be done.
Why is communication important to you?
