“In every time of season change: it is #wise to slow down and examine what our ego, thought-habits, and spiritual-energy are communicating to others...our environments. Truth is these thoughts (attitudes that aren't situationally static) are producing real activity, outcomes that shape our existence. Consider the conception of our thoughts, and what they will give birth to beyond the physical...they have an incredible power, with or without our active will, to lift us, sink us or soar us. Consider how we as human beings can be subject to the law enforcement of living under our own thought legislation...Selah.”
― Tracey Bond

“Liberty marveled at how properly people conducted themselves for the most part, greeting the world each morning in a spirit of bemused cooperation and polite assumption, agreeing on words, sharing words, acceding to the same reality of one thing or another.

As a child, Liberty had very much wanted her own words, made enthusiastic by a phrase much employed by the adults of the time—tell it in your own words. But they hadn’t meant it. Having your own words just wasn’t feasible. Having your own words isolated you from the rest of humanity. A personal vocabulary indicated a distrustful spirit, a lack of faith in the way things were.”
― Joy Williams, Breaking and Entering

“I’ve coached on every type of people problem any individual, team, or organization has ever had. You name it, I’ve coached around it. Problems such as

Organizations that want to change their culture.
Teams that don’t succeed because they have turf wars that create silos.
Executive leadership teams that are in conflict and aren’t communicating effectively.
Leaders and executives who want more confidence to make tough decisions.
Managers who have strong technical expertise in their field but have never managed people.
Individual contributors who need to be more engaged with their coworkers and teams.

My clients come to me with these challenges. Nine times out of ten, those challenges are people problems. I coach them to handle these problems and clear the hurdles, so they have more time and energy to do what matters most to them—earn their yoga certification, be a more present mom, learn to play the guitar—and get back to focusing on the things they do best: their job and their organization’s mission.”

“Inspiration consists of two-sided communication. From one person, expression flows into sensitive ears, recognition to the eyes, tastes to the tongue, or as a scent to a nose. Information flows from the one who is touching to another being touched and into the mind of the recipient. This is communication.”
― Laura Bartnick, Being Creative

“Effective communication involves more than just words.”
― Frank Sonnenberg, Values to Live By: Know What Matters Most and Let It Be Your Guide

“Now, communicating is a system. A single message might move across six different formats before it sticks. One piece of content might be in written form. Another might happen in a panel discussion. That discussion might be cut into short-form videos and posted on a variety of channels. At my company, we have found that communication works best when you think through it as a system of sticky moments that are designed with intention.”
