As cool as I wish I were, I hate to say it, I’m a nerd at heart and I love love love learning new things. Just the other day I fixed my boyfriend’s computer because of something I learned in my Accounting Information Systems class. I felt like I was on the Bestbuy Geeksquad, and it felt good. But I digress. The longer I work with my company, the more I learn that communication is key to everything. It’s essential to the success in everyone’s professional and personal life. In business you need to communicate effectively with your employees, customers, and vendors to operate effectively. More importantly, communication is fundamental to a relationship.
Every relationship will have its highs and lows. It’s inevitable to have conflict in a relationship, but it doesn’t mean the end of the relationship. Without conflict, there is no progress. Communication on the other hand, is what helps you through the conflict. I know that’s cliché to talk about all this communication nonsense, and you’ve heard it all before, but it’s been on my mind lately.
I pride myself in (at least trying) communicating effectively. I’m working on really pushing myself to have those difficult conversations. I think that lack of communication, shows a lack of commitment to the relationship. If you’re not going to tell the truth and if you’re not going to reciprocate the effort, then you’re being disrespectful and it shows that you don’t care enough to work out the problem. I guess the next thing I need to learn is how to let go of a failing relationship.
These are the days. They always were. -K
