Thoughtful, clear communication makes a big difference.
It can be a gentle entry to a tough conversation. It can deliver good news with excitement, provide important information, or help us navigate the hard stuff. A well-communicated message can make you see something differently or give you a much-needed laugh.
When we communicate with clarity and heart, we can understand each other a little better. Seventeen years of communications experience has shown me that's the key. It's at the core of what I do and my biggest motivation.
Hi, I’m Abby
I wrote a lot of handwritten, post-holiday thank you letters as a kid. This is how every single one started:
How are you? I am fine. Thank you very much for the [insert gift here].
I can think of much more exciting alternatives for eight-year-old Abby. Maybe this:
These teal and hot pink Fisher Price sunglasses have changed my entire outlook on life. I am invincible.
Or this: I am one step closer to winter glory, thanks to your $20 cheque. The GT Snow Racer is now within reach.
Where did I adopt such rigid formality at that age? We all pick up perceived "rights and wrongs" and this-is-just-the-way-you-do-its that influence our communication styles. Sometimes we lose sight of the purpose—to connect.
I started Queerly Beloved to help people connect with other people through authentic, thoughtful, and engaging communication.
The drive to connect is human nature, and I love being part of that. Bonus points if we can have a little fun along the way.
