Communication works for those who work at it. – John Powell
Communication is the
real work of leadership. – Nitin Nohria
As the author mentioned earlier in January, she
thought she had determined her word for the year in October 2022, but things
changed. Her word was communication. Why was the author’s original word for the
year communication?
There are many reasons the author was and is going to
work on communication this year. When the author was speaking to people last
year, she was asked a number of times to speak slower and louder because she
has a tendency to speak fast and softly making it difficult for others to hear
her. This was the impetus for her goal to work on her communication skills.
However, there are many forms of communication including verbal, nonverbal, written
and visual, which are all important and will be worked on by the author. On top
of those types of communication, the author desires to increase her strength in
persuasion when speaking and writing.
Readers can see that there are many things to study
and learn about in regards to communication. The author realizes there is a lot
to learn and implement in her life. Thinking through this, this will be a
continual study over many years to come. Besides beginning to work on her
communication skills, the author will be creating a communication plan to
continue to improve in the years to come.
The art of communication
is the language of leadership. — James Humes
Communication is an area that almost everyone can
work on this year. And as the quotes
above states, communication will help with leadership and accomplishing dreams.
One may say that they are not a leader, but the author would disagree. Anyone
pursuing their dreams is a leader in the author’s perspective and as we cannot
accomplish our dreams alone leadership is needed to influence others.

ways will you work on your communication in 2023?
