These are fascinating times for communications. We have more and more tools at our fingertips with instant access and 24/7 availability but lack of communication still plagues us. We have gone from communication that took days or hours to reach us, to now having split second delivery. Instant access feels great at first, but eventually creates other issues...like Zoom fatigue, email overload and robo calls. It's the old double-edged sword. Do you ever find yourself just yearning for a quiet space with no electronics, no news, no calls?

This month, we want to take a look at ways of viewing communications differently. Not the newest and greatest technology innovations, but what makes meaning behind the communication. From behind our masks and our computer screens and our phones, we are about to be around people again. It's a good time to be thinking about how we as leaders re-engage with other people in person, on planes, in the grocery stores, in restaurants, in our offices. It's spring and a time of renewal and rebirth. How are we plugging in again?

We believe that interpersonal and communications skills are more vital than ever in the post Covid environment, especially in light of the dramatic changes we have all experienced this past year. Our organizations need great leaders who have the skills to communicate with a true balance of respect and responsibility as we move out of crisis and into recovery.

"Today, even with the ever evolving communication technology, I think we really need to step back, or maybe step up, and examine what’s really new or changed from the perspective of different generations and different relationships. After all, whether we’re talking professional or personal communication, don’t we need to understand who we’re communicating with (or to be grammatically correct, to whom we’re communicating?)"
