Overcome Your Communication Roadblocks
James has the experience and drive to help your organization crush obstacles for team success.
Poor communication means projects fall apart. Effective communication can unite teams of all backgrounds and communication styles.
Texting, Messaging, Apps, Email, etc., have all made communication happen at a faster and more convenient rate. Strike a balance between technology and communication strategies – the message needs to drive the tool, not the other way around.
The best communication happens when all parties practice empathy and active listening, and truly understand where the other person is coming from. Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.
How to Listen and Let Your Team Take the Lead
Being in several positions of leadership, James has learned that good communication with your team is about listening and guiding while relying on them to do their job. James believes that getting to know your team and their background makes you a better leader.
