Transparency

Be transparent to ask for transparency

In most cases, our personal and professional actions do not only influence our life, but also the life of a small or larger group of people.

We’re engaged, we make our best out of it, and we try to bring our community an added value trough our work.

Everybody’s happy, but do they? People smile, applaud, pat on our shoulders with a flood of words to praise us and make us feel under the spotlight.

What do they think indeed?

Nobody will ever know, unless we meet someone spontaneous, transparent, enthusiastic to share his thought with us.

We would all wish for such a powerful environment to exist, but most of times this is not the case.

What happens then?

People talk behind our shoulders, they gossip about us: such situations are bad for us, we are like in a bubble of unconscious unawareness and we don’t know why. All at once here comes a whisper, the voice of truth, the innocent word to testify that our work, we gave our heart, passion and engagement for, has been criticised.

“Damn” – I think – “why didn’t you tell me before?”

What we can do is avoiding thinking about what we could have done, an take on the suggestions so that they can be useful for future actions.

We must ask our speakers for feed-backs, fundamental for our work, because we can see our action under a critical and constructive light.

In our next intervention, let’s first declare our goals, to focus the listeners on the meaning and usefulness of our issue.

If someone shies away, we can be the example to follow. When feed backs are meant to open up to our personal and interpersonal relations, we can enjoy compliments as well as criticisms, because the energy starts to flow, the flow of honest transparency runs into the flow of respect.

By the way, I have a good news… I’ve just bumped into a professional who took part in one of my presentations. He was thunderstruck and resolved to put into action what I had just taught the class. He thanked and asked me to follow me in all my teaching courses.

Positive feed-backs are good for us… better than that!

In Referral Marketing, Convince comes from Latin “To win with”, for this reason it highlights the importance of give and take.

Transparency is the keystone of any good-quality relation.
