Your Working Life With Caroline Dowd-higgins

Raising your game as a communicator is the best way to make a difference in your career and relationships, but it takes courage to find your voice, open up, and invite others to open up to us. As a life-long communication coach and top gun in her field, Michelle Gladieux has discovered four obstacles keeping us from becoming the best communicators we can be: ·      Hiding: Fear of exposing our supposed weaknesses ·      Defining: Putting too much stock into our assumptions, being quick to judge ·      Rationalizing: Leaning on pessimism to shield yourself from taking chances, engaging in conflict, or doing other scary but potentially rewarding actions ·      Settling: Stopping at “good enough” instead of aiming for something better in interactions Improved communication requires taking smart risks to question our beliefs, take a leap of faith, and build our bravery to make a greater impact in our professional and personal relationships.
