Question👇 If you’re technically brilliant let's say 10/10 at your job but your but your ability to communicate your value is a 4/10, do you think people perceive you to be a 10/10 or 4/10?

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling misunderstood or frustrated? You’re not alone. Nearly 75% of communications that are received are COMPLETELY misinterpreted. Most of our communication challenges stem from miscommunication. Whether it’s a missed cue, an unclear message, or simply feeling unheard, these misunderstandings can significantly impact our personal and professional lives. Miscommunication happens for several reasons: 😕| Lack of Clarity: Our thoughts are complex, and translating them into clear, concise messages can be challenging. 🤔| Assumptions: We often assume others understand our context or share our perspective. (I made this mistake so much, it’s embarrassing)🤦‍♂️ 🧏‍♂️| Listening Skills: Effective communication is not just about speaking but also about active listening and empathy. As introverts, these challenges can feel even more noticeable. We might prefer deeper conversations but struggle in environments that favor quick, surface-level interactions. This can lead to a feeling of being overlooked or undervalued.🙇‍♂️ Here are some strategies to turn miscommunication into clear, effective communication: ⚡Be Clear and Concise: Practice expressing your thoughts clearly and directly. Take a moment to organize your ideas before speaking. ⚡Active Listening: Truly listen to the other person⚠️WITHOUT PLANNING YOUR RESPONSE⚠️while they’re speaking. This shows respect and helps you understand their perspective better. ⚡Ask Questions: If something is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask for clarification. This demonstrates engagement and prevents misunderstandings. ⚡Non-Verbal Cues: Pay attention to body language, both yours and others. Non-verbal cues can convey much more than words alone. If you find yourself often struggling with miscommunication and want to develop more effective communication skills tailored to your introverted strengths, I’m here to help!
