Identity: Key to Effective Communication

Poor communication centres around misunderstandings which can in turn kill productivity.

If the message at the outset is cluttered and blurred, we certainly aren’t going to have a clear understanding of our own identity, and more specifically our role within the company.

This cluttered miscommunication of the message results in marginalization as the blame is shifted from one person to another.

The reason no one wants to take responsibility is because firstly, the message is unclear and secondly, there’s no understanding of authentic identity - who am I, what am I here to do, what’s my message/story and why me?

If we can gain clarity on this (identity), then that makes our ability to communicate in a clear and confident way, that much more seamless.

We can then take ownership of our roles and responsibilities in the workplace so there’s no broken messaging, shifting of blame, misunderstanding, and decreased productivity as a result.

We are happier and more confident with ourselves as well as being able to relate with others for connection, understanding, growth and meaning.
