Here are a few disciplines that have helped me (so far) 🙂 in
dealing with Nepal’s cynical, hostile environment where there are much
expectations by so many.
What to share in public (group emails, Facebook groups,
twitter)
- Thank you,
- sorry,
- praise,
- happy news,
- raising hope,
- showing unity,
- share positive accomplishments,
- acknowledgements,
- public appreciations

in private ( Meeting face to face, on phone, one on one
email/chat, “small (less than 3 people) chats, sms, small tea meetings
outside office, go for a walking meeting, go on a
hike to untangle difficult problems, use facebook voice/skype/viber for distance
problem solving)
- conflict resolution,
- share bitter news,
- share confusing thoughts,
- share / listen to frustrations,
- build personal relationships,
- big thank you’s,
- to delegate work,
- rejections / to say No

Lets keep our “listening” mode on.
Listening doesn’t mean we agree .. it means we empathize
and are willing to hear their point of view..
It seems people are always looking for ways to be
“heard”… Also a polite “No” is a perfectly valid answer.
It’s not about “pleasing” others but “listening” to
others.
So next time, if you feel uncomfortable, pick up the phone or
meet.
kaso ?
do share your experiences communicating …
