Communication is essential and all around us. It is at work, at home, with friends and strangers, it is the foundation for success in all relationships and nearly every aspect of life. Yet, despite our constant communication, we often struggle to do it effectively, especially with those closest to us. Why is it so hard?

Another thing I love about Spring is the feeling I have after I have changed over my closets and my clothes are organized and neatly folded on the shelves. I can see my clothes, they are not a jumbled mess.  It saves so much time when choosing what to wear to the office or wherever I am going that day. Also, like my short-term plant memory loss, I am surprised at my spring clothes. I forget from season to season what I have. I think it is on purpose! It’s like a brand-new wardrobe, that hopefully, still fits. Sometimes they shrink in the closet over the winter. But before I put the clothes in the closet, I sort them into three piles, a need-altering pile, and giveaway pile ( the shrinkage pile), a the just perfect pile. Boy, I feel ready to take on the world when I am organized and in the closet. Time to celebrate.

 What better place to open up the lines of communication and get the conversations going than in a neutral place, a warm space, that it comfortable yet has the new car smell and excitement.

In November 2023 I was certified as a Women Owned Business by WeConnect International weconnectinternational.org . I was first introduced to WEConnect by the BDC  BDC – The Bank for Canadian Entrepreneurs | BDC.ca .
I have worked with the BDC and have been a client of them for many years. When they suggested I look into it, I jumped.

The first thing I bring up with any new client is that it all starts with communication, and it is not just about the words. There are so many elements of communication, it is the lifeblood of relationships—both personal and professional. Yet, despite its importance, we often struggle to communicate effectively. Let’s look into it a bit more.
