\"Bad<\/p>\n

Sometimes I really suck at communicating… yet I’m also a great communicator. It’s what I do naturally. But sometimes, I’m down right terrible with it.<\/p>\n

My coach Teya Sparks<\/a> reminds me that I need to be willing to be both extremes. That as a human being, it is only natural.<\/p>\n

As a perfectionist, it seems insane. How can I make a career around communication and also be a bad communicator? I must be the best communicator ever. always. period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But I am not. Sometimes I suck.<\/p>\n

Not a Great Communication Moment<\/h3>\n

Like last week, when I wrote about discovering my designer<\/a>, I kinda forgot to inform my current clients of the post before I published it. It was a bad communication move on my part not to inform my current clients ahead of time and explain the ‘change’.<\/p>\n

The reality is, nothing has actually<\/em> changed with my clients, I still work with them the same way but THEY didn’t know that when I published the article. I gave some of them a scare.<\/p>\n

Me Communicating Good
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I’d like to take this moment to express clearly what I did not clearly communicate last week. I have realized that:<\/p>\n

I am a designer who employs coaching, not a coach that employs design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This does not change how I create with others. I still think coaching and co-creation is the most strategic way to design one’s marketing and communication tactics.<\/p>\n

There is, however, a change in how I see myself. I’m now ready to see and embrace what I am.<\/p>\n
