Are you an independent thinker that communicates with intention at work? Has your life energy been weak...and is it difficult to thrive with zest? Being the best communicator begins with being able to communicate accurately and effectively (intentionally) with words, something that will empower you to thrive. When was the last time you told a story? Can you tell a story that acknowledges and appreciates someone or something? When telling a story, it is necessary to get a genuine message across with enthusiasm. Can you duplicate a story you heard with accuracy? Mark Rittenberg, from UC-Berkely says, "leadership in the workplace involves a synergistic combination of getting things done and highly effective people skills. The most important skill is communication." In life, getting your message out with clarity and intention will help you discover your life energy and put the light in your eye again. As you begin to tell your story, you too can become an independent thinker, discovering how to act on your own, describing what you are doing and how and in what situation you actually are......I would like to hear your short story. Does your personal effectiveness support being the best communicator in your personal and professional life?
