The Dead Zone is a No-Zone …!

No matter the size of your business, communication is a crucial factor in its success. A company where good communication is practiced tends to be very productive. On the flip side, bad communication can have some disastrous consequences for your company. How? Well, here are some of the effects of bad communication as well as good reasons for measuring and fixing poor communication with your team (whether virtual or in-person) as well as your clients entrusting their business in your hands. While you’re reading through today’s post, ask yourself …

What are you doing to measure communication?
Is there room for improvement?
If so, how do you plan on getting things back on track?

With those in mind, some education is needed in order to help you understand why we need to measure and what communication measurement can do – even when a problem has already been identified.

Highlight and breakdown the key issues that exist.
Pinpoint critical areas which have room for improvement.
Establish a baseline while making smart decisions.
Make sure the audience’s (or team if this is an internal struggle) needs are being met.
Drill down on the data and leverage your communication resources (what’s working / what’s not).
Commit to follow through while driving accountability (pay attention to engagement).

The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place. ~ George Bernard Shaw, Playwright

Following those few – but very important steps – is an excellent way to assess where communication is working and where it is not whether it be internally with your team or externally to your target audience. These tips will help get you on the right track to more effectively connecting with your employees and those outside your internal business bubble.

With that being said, we wanted to leave you with a very important connection resource as communication allows us to make the most of who we are individually and collectively with those around us …

Creating positive personal connections with clients, colleagues and leaders.
Preventing poor decision-making that results from miscommunication.
Internal ideas to increase productivity, results and impact are freely shared.
Engaged employees who feel valued and heard, result in decreased turnover.
Improved retention results in lower recruiting, interviewing, onboarding and training costs.

So, if you want to INCREASE ENGAGEMENT and motivation and reduce turnover in your business … Or simply want to LEARN TO COLLABORATE for greater impact and communication so your message is heard … We highly suggest you book some virtual coffee time with one of our most favorite clients; Journeous.

Crystal is an artist, a writer, an organizer, a dreamer, a doer, and down-right proud of it NERD!.

Struck with a love for #AllThings creative at a very young age, Crystal dreamed of a life fueled by her passion for creating and bringing the stories and images in her mind into reality.

As she worked toward her dreams, she earned a diploma as a Computer Applications Specialist then another in Graphic Design and from there began to develop her extensive background in multimedia and the arts. She began her worked in the magazine industry as a layout designer and had a succession of design jobs thereafter. It was her role as a graphic/web designer that gave her the first real glimpse of her future. Soon she began a side job as a freelance designer while keeping one foot in the corporate world. A spark was lit! She turned her freelance gig into a full-time business combining design work with her other passion: creating organization from virtual chaos.

Crystal is one of the most organized individuals on the planet. She is by all means a Zen master of her crafts. She excels at helping others become “untangled” and provides her clients with tools to run their businesses smoothly while she takes care of the details behind the scenes. Thus Virtually Untangled was born. A successful business where her work as a top notch creative in graphic and web — with a twist of virtual assistant — married into one amazing place where clients can come with their virtual messes and become magically untangled. Crystal can always make sense of even the most unorganized chaos and offers a virtual detox of order and peace, so her clients can get busy doing the work that they love the most.
