“Get through the day in Peace not in Pieces!” – Margaret Meloni

Who you are shows up in how you communicate.

Your communication style is influenced by all of the aspects of who you are: personality type, conflict resolution mode, your emotional intelligence and more.

As you communicate people form opinions about you AND these opinions shape your professional relationships. This is why it is so important to think before you speak or type, text or post. It will come as no surprise to you that I ask you to start within. Understand how you approach communications and then you can understand when you are effective and when you are not.

Explore:

  1. How your personality type influences your communication style
  2. How your conflict resolution mode influences your communication style
  3. How your emotional intelligence influences your communication style
  4. Steps to take to make your communications MORE effective
