We all know how important communication skills are in the workplace. However, even with the best intentions, communication can sometimes go awry, leading to misunderstandings, mistakes, and missed opportunities.

I'd love to hear about your experiences with communication challenges in your career.

Did you struggle speaking up?

Setting boundaries?

Giving feedback?

Keeping cool in difficult conversations?

Advocating for yourself?

Getting buy-in?

One of the things I struggled with leading teams was adjusting my message to the person. Some people liked direct communication, others more empathetic. Especially under pressure, it really mattered how I framed my words.

It's a delicate balance, and I've had to work hard to refine my communication skills to become a more effective leader. What about you? Have you faced any similar challenges, or are there other areas where you've struggled with communication in your career?
