BE CLEAR - communications tip

One of the two most important things to do before sharing any sensitive information or asking a potentially dicey question is to be clear about what you want to say or ask.  Am shocked at the number of times I would think that it was was important to let the moment be organic, to just let the words come or else they would be stilted, sound fake.

Bosh!

When it's tough-to-share or say, it's essential you have a clear idea - before you bring up to the person(s) having something you want to share - of what you want to say.  The better you can get your head to understand what's in your heart, the better you head can assure the heart it can be entrusted to express it as effectively as possible.

"I have something difficult to say" communication should never be done on a wing & a prayer.  It's not being fake or artificial, it's being wise & protective, protective of the other(s) as well as of yourself.  If you don't know - clearly - what you want to say, it's way too easy for it not to be said.
