Expanding Communication Channels. Creating Connection.

“To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” – Franz Fanon

How important is communication to you?

How often do you ask yourself that when you speak to a colleague or bash out an email to client; perhaps a press release or monthly presentation?

How valuable is that connection?

I like to think about these questions before I write, translate or deliver training, and I bring that level of consideration into my work. Language is a key to connection, not a mystical puzzle. And employing this tool to relate to others – as well as ourselves – is essential in developing our personal and professional potential. Language expresses our wants, needs and instincts and opens a gateway.

Language empowers. It isn’t just about getting what you want in the short term. That report you submit at the end of the financial year has consequences, not solely in a business context, but in your relationship to all those connected to the end product. It is part of a broader process, marking the continuation rather than end of a certain communication channel that can be boundless in reach.

I am both a language specialist and creative communicator. Having spent the last twenty years exploring interface potential through an innovative approach to writing, art, dance and performance, I am able to not only technically understand words, but through personal, creative experience as a fervent writer, truly feel the impact of language on the target audience. Language enables us to reach out, attract others and establish trust.

Connection starts with ourselves. If you could do with listening to yourself more and prioritising your needs, simply contact me at Freeflow Coaching.
