“Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet
of consequences.” Robert Louis
Stevenson
You reap what you sow --
always. People genius individuals know that everything communicates. Everything
matters. The words, the tone, the body language and the intent, all count.
Every communication
triggers an emotional reaction. The emotions and feelings others have towards
us impact our ability to motivate, engage, influence and succeed. The emotional
noise based on our perceived actions lurks in the background.
A quick and easy reality
test for the emotions we have provoked is whether people smile or grimace when
we approach or call, if they return emails on a timely basis. You might
remember these thoughts from other blogs. It is worth repeating since it is that
critical to your success.
Are your communications
triggering enthusiasm, open-ness, commitment and trust? Or do they illicit anxiety,
self-protection, apathy and fear?
The choice is yours.
