Yet many people struggle to communicate effectively. From creating hurt and disconnect in personal relationships, to negatively impacting professional opportunities, poor communication can lead to a lot of suffering. Yet many of us don’t even realize when we are communicating ineffectively. Instead we can feel confused by how people respond to us and unsure how to get a different outcome.
