Bringing a great attitude into everything you do is certainly the number one asset you can have but when you work in big corporations or busy businesses how do you get noticed.
The simple answer is to communicate.
The difficult part is trying to understand what communication actually is. For most discussing the ball game or last night dinner party in the coffee room is communication but for the leaders in charge of running a bustling team of workers this is nothing more than wasted breathe. We aren't saying that socializing doesn't have its place and isn't good for moral but we are saying that this form of communication is shallow and often leads to nowhere.
The way to be heard and the way to stand out even further is to consistently communicate at a high level with all of your work peers and direct leaders.
True communication can be described as follows:
1. An environment where an outcome is sought and fostered.
2. Language between two or more parties where all parties feel they have been heard. Listen with interest.
3. Show body language that makes others feel comfortable and interested in reaching a point.
4. Listen more.
5. Show enthusiasm for the subject and the person communicating with you. They will feed off your energy and open up further.
6. Listen again.
7. Seek a result, whether it is what was desired or not. Have resolution to every conversation.
If you can begin implementing these communication concepts you will begin to be heard over the white noise of others who are just talking.
Say something, want to be heard, strive to listen more and keep bringing a great attitude to your life.
