Your message gets lost
You know what you want to say and your ideas are clear, your vision is solid. But others misinterpret your words, respond differently than expected or don’t seem convinced. No matter how hard you try, the impact just isn’t there.
Listening is a challenge
Listening is the most important communication skill but you find yourself planning your response before the other person has finished speaking. You miss details, interrupt unintentionally or come across as disengaged.
