Shut up you’re always talking?

I hate not being heard.
No matter how loud I’m talking πŸ‘‡

In my Italian family, people always yelled if they weren’t being heard πŸ—£οΈ.
β†’ It was pretty funny.
β†’ It just caused chaos.
β†’ Nothing got accomplished.

Sometimes when I’d talk to my team
β†’ I’d repeat myself, raise my voice, and still, my messages weren’t getting thru.

A mentor pulled me aside and told me the obvious.
β†’ It wasn’t about how loud I was talking, but how clear my message was.
β†’ So my communication skills stunk.
β†’ Now that was very clear and concise! 🀣

Messages always sounded better in my head, but when it was coming out of my mouth, they were a hot mess πŸ˜–.

I had to get better.
β†’ My communication needed to be clear, concise, and compelling.
β†’ I needed people to listen to me.
β†’ For the right reasons.

So I prepared smarter before I spoke πŸ“.
β†’ Wrote out the key points I wanted to get across.
β†’ Tailored my message to my audience.
β†’ Kept it simple – my message contained small bits.
β†’ Stayed on track.
β†’ Used storytelling to make my points more relatable.
β†’ I listened more instead of being scattered.

Instead of speaking louder, I spoke smarter.

And this changed everything.
πŸ‘‰ I owned the room.
πŸ‘‰ People understood me better.
πŸ‘‰ Meetings were more productive.
πŸ‘‰ Most importantly, people were clear what I was conveying.
πŸ‘‰ And what was expected of them.

If you’re a great communicator, anything is possible!
