Ep. 15: Provocative or Productive Communication?

Managing Your Multi-Passionate Life

Hi Guys!

I believe that we can have both a provocative (if done right) AND a productive conversation. But we need to be mindful...

"But that's not what I meant!!!" Have you ever found yourself feeling this way when a person misinterprets something you said?

The way people interpret information from others they communicate with differs almost as often as the personalities and experiences of each of these individuals. The world wouldn't be an interesting place if everyone had identical beliefs, thought patterns, and feelings. Still, it can be exasperating if the person you are communicating with does not "get" what you're trying to say. It gets even trickier in an e-mail when you can't see the body language or hear the tone of voice from the other person.

So how do we address this challenge? We do it by first being aware of some of the roadblocks to good communication and then consider some of the remedies I propose to address these roadblocks. Listen in for some real talk!

It’s possible to have a successful portfolio career if you have the personality for it (making money using all of your passions). Some multi-passionate people want to keep the fun for hobbies and the good enough job to pay the bills separate from one another, which totally is cool too. Which one are you?
