It’s important to identify and be clear on what these different communication styles look like in practice. Like learning styles, people communicate and have preferences on how they wish to be communicated to. So, having some sort of ‘audit’ or understanding of what these look like will help the collaboration process and hopefully make it fun and enjoyable! Clarity is key!

Everyone has a different preference/trait for the way they communicate. This starts with you, and you understanding your own preference and preferred communication style. You also need to learn about other communication styles, what these look like and how they impact on you. Once geared with this knowledge you're in a much better position to recognise styles similar to your own and those that are very different. And, based on what you've learned about different styles, you are in a much better position to be able to flex your style to adapt to those around you. Don't expect others to meet your style - you learn to adapt to who is presenting to you, match their style and create effective and more productive connections.

Reúnete con tus socios e identificad las expectativas de cada uno para ponerlas en común y que sean las mismas para todos, de está forma evitarás malentendidos y todos iréis en la misma dirección. Intenta que la comunicación sea abierta y que sea común, muchas veces se puede malinterpretar el mensaje cuando este va de una persona a otra.
