Developing efficient interpersonal communication skills is essential for growth and maintaining significant long-term relationships with customers, teams, vendors, and partners. Using professionally-developed behavioral strategies to deliver harmonious customer service, encourage team-building, network, and maintain strategic partnerships is invaluable in providing your business with more support and resources. Interpersonal Communication Improves Engagement Interpersonal communication is discussing ideas, concepts, and emotions with others to elicit a favorable response. Not investing in interpersonal communication development may put you at risk of being misunderstood more often, not being seen as a team player, or causing disinterest in further communication if clients don’t relate to your communication style. Omni-Directional Relationship Building I refer my clients to a communication system for maintaining harmonious professional relationships: omni-directional relationship building. Omnidirectional encompasses all relationships in business – from bosses to staffers to vendors to customers. There are five foundational principles in omni-directional relationship building:

• Honesty: use honest communication to establish you are trustworthy.
• The Constancy of Purpose: build and maintain relationships with continuous and meaningful effort.
• Knowledge: learn the values and goals of an individual to relate to them in authentic interactions.
• Balance: recognize the power imbalances among staff and navigate the environment accordingly.
• Shared objectives – identify similar personal and professional goals to foster mutually beneficial relationships with teams, partners, and vendors.

Effectively Manage All Your Omni-Directional Relationships With improved communication, my clients learn the following:

• How to diversify your relationships – learn how to network outside your business.
• How to connect others – link people with others and share industry and nonprofit-sector information to help broaden your connections and the connections of those around you.
• How to us quality time – maintain relationships with the people who contribute the most to your business: your team, partners, and loyal customers.
• How to maintain communication – continuously work on maintaining those relationships.
