Clear, Calm, Consistent, Communicate

I have worked with many parents as they parent their children and teens. One of the most basic practical tips is to be Clear, Calm, Consistent and Communicate. We can’t be understood when we are vague about what we want. We can’t be heard when we are yelling instead of speaking calmly. We can’t be believed or trusted if the rules and expectations are dependent on our personal whims or how our day went. We can’t communicate and hear what our children and teens have to say if the communication is a one way street. Seems simple, right?

As an Employer, I can’t be vague. I can’t be demandingly bossy and expect to be heard, let alone trusted. I can’t have one expectation on Wednesdays and another on Tuesdays. I can’t learn from my team if I don’t listen more than I speak!!

I believe our government and leadership would benefit from Clear, Calm, Consistent, Communication. Things are a bit wild at the moment!
If you are finding yourself pulled all about and not quite sure what to expect, Counseling can’t fix this for you. We can help you explore the emotions and the process.

Counseling can also help you find your own Clear, Calm, Consistent voice and communicate what you need. Myself, I have sent more messages this past month to my senators than I have in the past 10 years. Lets take care of ourselves so we have the strength to speak for others. Angela Olson LMHC
