Wk 35 - Reflect on Information and Adjust Communication

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Reflect on Information and Adjust Communication

Taking the time to reflect on a conversation or interaction allows you to identify areas for improvement and adjust your approach in the future.

Here are some steps you can take to reflect on your communication and behaviors:

  1. During or immediately after an interaction, note what was said, how it was said, and how you responded. This will help you remember details later on and give you something to refer back to when reflecting.
  2. Consider what you did well and what you could improve. Were you clear and concise in your communication? Did you listen actively and respond appropriately? Did you show respect and understanding?
  3. Think about the context of the interaction. Were there any environmental or situational factors that may have impacted the conversation? Were you under stress or pressure?
  4. Ask trusted colleagues, friends, or mentors for feedback on your communication and behaviors. Be open to constructive criticism and use it to improve.
  5. Based on your reflections and feedback, create an action plan to improve your communication and behaviors. Set specific goals and identify the steps you will take to achieve them.

Regularly reflecting on your communication and behaviors can make you more self-aware and adapt to different personalities, situations, and dynamics. This will improve your leadership effectiveness and help you build stronger relationships with those around you.
