Yesterday, we hosted a new #SharingExperience workshop at our office, titled “Conversations That Build Teams – it’s not a bug, it’s Communication.” The session, led by Alexandra Niță, psychotherapist, focused on one of the most essential yet often underestimated skills in the workplace: communication.
Rather than approaching communication as a theoretical concept, the discussion centered on how it actually works in real situations. We explored what shapes the way messages are understood, from clarity and structure to tone, context, and individual perspective.
One of the key takeaways was a simple but powerful idea: communication is not just about delivering a message, but about ensuring it is received as intended. Even with good intentions, differences in interpretation can easily appear, especially in fast-paced or complex work environments.
The session also highlighted several practical aspects that support effective communication:
- structuring messages clearly
- adapting communication to the audience
- paying attention to non-verbal cues
- actively listening and validating understanding
Beyond concepts, the workshop created space for open discussions and real-life examples, allowing participants to reflect on their own communication styles and challenges.
It was a valuable opportunity to step back from day-to-day tasks and look at communication from a broader perspective, one that supports stronger collaboration, clearer expectations, and more effective teamwork.
