Clarity Takes 30 Seconds 💡
|
Hi Reader, Last week I had a not-so-nice reminder about something I talk about all the time: The importance of clarity. I had an upcoming quiz in my MBA program, and, wanting to prepare properly (hey, you know me 😏), I reached out twice to clarify exactly what we were expected to study. No response. Crickets. I went into the quiz thinking I had prepared for what was required… and walked out feeling frustrated and honestly a bit angry. Because what I thought we had to study turned out to be only half of what was covered. Now, this isn’t about blame. It’s about this simple truth: Clarity and proper communication are crucial in everything you do. And sometimes, clarity can literally be created in 30 seconds. What would have helped me in that moment? A simple reply: “These are the chapters that will be covered in the quiz: …” That’s it. And it made me think… How many times could clarity have saved us:
Think about your personal life. How often do we assume instead of clarify? Clarity is kindness. So whatever position you find yourself in, as a partner, colleague, manager, or friend, please be clear and communicate. It won’t just help you get better results. And if you’re on the receiving end? Ask. When it comes to your personal and professional goals, be even clearer. You don’t even need to know the full end destination. Because clarity creates momentum. This week’s reminder, for me too: Say what you mean. It really can take less than a minute. Talk next week, P.S. Where in your life right now could 30 seconds of clarity change everything?

View in browser Hi Reader, This week, I found myself thinking about one of my coaching clients, an adventurer at heart and soul. She has an amazing idea for her own business. The kind of idea you can feel in the way someone talks about it. Right now, she’s still studying, and earlier this year, she enrolled in a business program to ensure she’s fully prepared when it's time to launch her venture. A thoughtful decision. A prepared decision. But a few weeks in, something interesting happened....
View in browser Hi Reader, The past few weeks have been... well, filled 😅, and I was reminded, in a very practical way, why my planner matters so much. I’ve just stepped into a new role at Vancouver Island University as an entrepreneurship advisor with the SPARK program while remaining fully immersed in my MBA. On top of that, I’ve also officially started my entrepreneur consulting business (more on that soon 👀). In my role with SPARK VIU, I support students, early-stage founders, and...
