Communication Butterflies

I enjoy giving posts nonsensical titles. I feel like sometimes I throw them up there and they look ridiculous, but sometimes they make unusual sense.

Anyway, this post is about communication - and how extremely important it is to organizational health, especially when it comes to internal communication of external commitments. So it became so apparent this evening, when our biggest external stakeholder and financial supporter came face to face with me in an unexpected meeting of minds.

Reestablishing communication after it has all but evaporated is an arduous task, particularly for someone who was thrown into the mix while it was all falling apart. It demands a degree of creativity and determination to ensure that the remaining faith in that communication does not crumble, because in the end, all that communication is based upon is faith and trust. It's the follow-through that seals that trust.

These are some of the professional life lessons that I am learning in my time in Oman. Every day presents a new way of looking at the same things we're doing in a different light - and the opportunity to do something different that will make the difference between meeting a goal or missing it.

Here's to maintaining the foresight and energy to know when I must make the change.
