I hate not being heard.
No matter how loud Iβm talking π
In my Italian family, people always yelled if they werenβt being heard π£οΈ.
β It was pretty funny.
β It just caused chaos.
β Nothing got accomplished.
Sometimes when Iβd talk to my team
β Iβd 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 wasnβt 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! π€£
Messages always sounded better in my head, but when it was coming out of my mouth, they were a hot mess π.
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 π.
β Wrote out the key points I wanted to get across.
β Tailored my message to my audience.
β Kept it simple β 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.
π I owned the room.
π People understood me better.
π Meetings were more productive.
π Most importantly, people were clear what I was conveying.
π And what was expected of them.
If youβre a great communicator, anything is possible!
