Elevating Communication

Maryanne recently sat down with Joan Steffend to talk about the importance of conscious communication and the inspiration behind writing a book about understanding your communication style.

 

Effective communication is always a must for anyone working within an organization or on a team. How well you communicate and listen are critical factors in collaboration with others. Listen in as we discuss the importance of communication.

I really enjoyed this book. It is intuitive that our well-being influences how we show up each day. This book provides tangible tools and stories that give insight into how to be a more skilled communicator and enhance the connection to our personal well-being. The survey to assess communication styles was relevant and accurate. The behaviors described in each style and how they change with the winds of our well-being align with my experience with myself and others. Communication is recognized as an important life skill and this book provides the framework to help self and team members improve it.
