Most of us are unaware of the “static” we create when communicating. Not only does this static prevent our influencing others to take action, it also tends to:
- Limit the perceptions of us formed by others
- Fail to capture and keep the attention of listeners
- Communicate messages that are unclear and therefore misunderstood

Have you ever found yourself crying in your boss’s office when you’re attempting to problem-solve, asking for a raise, negotiating workload, or accepting a compliment? You are not alone. Crying is a natural physiological response to feelings that derive from events in our lives. Many women cry easily and unexpectedly. Our socialization includes greater latitude than boys to express emotions through crying. In some ways, this freedom serves us well as grown women. Crying can provide a built-in emotional release valve—a catharsis. Having access to our feelings can allow us to have empathy and understanding when needed, which makes us better friends, family members and co-workers. There is substantial research on “emotional intelligence” saying this ability also makes us better, more effective leaders.

Remember back in college when we sat around the dining hall table and shared information, swapped stories, and gained the infamous “Freshman 15.” Back then we’d never heard of Atkins, the South Beach Diet, or for the most part, even the term “networking.” Yet, there we were, heaping delicious, full-fat cream cheese on a bagel and building relationships, many of which were to last through our first jobs, marriage, promotions, children, divorce and on into retirement. Sure, some slipped away over the years, but then there were those who didn’t. These became the friends who would take our phone calls at any hour in any time zone, and it would feel like we never moved out of the dorm. And, these friendships would go on to typify the relationships that successful careers are built on.

At the risk of being tediously redundant, I'm going to say it again: Keep the paper flowing to its final destination. Oops, you say there is no final destination? Well, my friends, that is what piles are made of—lost paper looking for a home.

Workplace politics has gotten a bad rap. It's often seen as the province of slick, self-promoting operators seeking a fast track to the top. Yet when competent people vie for a promotion, usually the one with political savvy wins. When conflict arises, the politically astute among us are able to reconcile differences. They know how to go around stated rules to get things done. They also know what to say, when and to whom. This may appear to be finesse to some and outright manipulation to others, but without such interpersonal skill high level competence often goes unnoticed.
