Good Communication

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
— Henry Winkler

All relationships have challenges. Sometimes it really all comes down
to not being able to ask for what you need. This can end a relation-
ship before it begins. Communication is the key to any relationship—
whether it’s a personal relationship or a business relationship. You might
feel fearful when it comes to communicating your needs and desires; it
might make you feel vulnerable to be so transparent. But in order for
you to have the intimacy you desire, you must lessen this fear. You need

to be able to ask for, share, and receive support.
This doesn’t only apply to intimate personal relationships, either. If
you want to get ahead in your job and further your career, you need to
be able to communicate clearly and confidently. If you want to attract
new clients to your business, you must be able to clearly state what you
offer and how it will benefit them. You can’t allow fear to hold you back
from boldly asserting yourself; clients will not fall out of the sky.

Your words can have a big impact on others, even in ways you may
never realize. If you have something beneficial to offer, be generous and
communicate with others. They will reap the benefits, and so will you!
