Tony J. Selimi’s Solution to Mastering the Art of Communication and Transforming Your Personal and Professional Life

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the second article in this two-part series. I want to share with you specific strategies I've learned from Tony J. Selimi for unlocking the power of communication in your life and workplace. Adopting a more mature, affluent, efficient, and productive communication style can improve every aspect of your life, especially your effectiveness, productivity, and overall performance.

But first, let me ask you this: Do you occasionally find yourself facing people whose communication style is authoritative and telling and, in some cases, can also be clearly distinguished by the 'it's my way or the highway style' of communication? Maybe you've been a proponent of them. Because of your position or education, you deem yourself above listening to what others say.

Well, two of the benefits I've gained through working with Tony, a world-renowned author, speaker, life strategist, and business coach specialising in human behaviour and unlocking human potential, is one of how he has raised my awareness of my communication style and how workplace disempowered communication styles often leave you feeling worthless, angry, and disempowered.

Two, he helped me develop my observational skills to see how detrimental these communication styles are. How you communicate can kill your health, relationships, and team cohesiveness. Simultaneously, it can lower your team's productivity and lead them to disrespect you.

As I've learned from Tony, learning is only good if you put it to great use. I trust that reading my blogs and connecting with and learning from Tony's multifaceted knowledge and expertise helps you and inspires you to become more aware and observant of who you are, whom you want to become, and how, by upgrading the way you communicate, you can change yourself and others you work and live with.

One of the many things Tony teaches is how, by adopting a more open and two-way communication style, you can achieve greater cohesiveness, increased productivity, and performance for you, your teams, and your company.

So now you may be asking, how is this achievable?

Well, not so long ago, I was running a few pipefitting teams installing various pipework systems for a new Hydrogen Giga-Factory project.

At every turn, I took the chance to listen to my team, but not only this, operating with a two-way communicative style opened me to take their suggestions on board and enabled us all to work more cohesively as a unit to overcome many challenges.

For us, the outdated, pre-Jurassic communication style of 'My Way or the Highway' didn't do it.

Let me share how working with Tony J. Selimi as my coach for nine years has completely transformed my life and career and how I communicate with myself and others.

When I started working with Tony, I had no idea how powerful his teachings were. Some sessions with him focused on my back-then issues, which were addiction, OCD, and epilepsy and others on communication. Over the years, he helped me not only overcome many health issues but also transform how I interact with my team, navigate challenges, and achieve success in every aspect of my life. It is why I know those of you who do the same; I know your life and business can change in ways you never thought possible.

Understanding the Power of Communication: My Journey with Tony J. Selimi

Before I started working with Tony, my communication style was very much like that of many professionals: authoritative, rigid, and often dismissive of other perspectives. I thought that because of my position and expertise, I knew best. Over the years, Tony helped me see the flaws in this approach. He taught me that mental health, success, authentic leadership, and effective communication go hand in hand and that the most successful teams are those where everyone feels heard and valued.

The Impact on My Life and Career

I learned to adopt a more open, mature, and collaborative communication style through Tony's science-based and holistic approach to coaching and training. This shift has improved my relationships with my team members and boosted our productivity and cohesion. We went from a group of individuals working under a strict command-and-control model to a cohesive unit where everyone contributes and feels invested in our success. This transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.

How You Can Transform Your Communication Style and Your Business

I want to share some key strategies I learned from Tony that have significantly improved my professional and personal life. How Tony's profound seven techniques below can elevate your communication and leadership when applied consistently.

1. Listen Actively and Take Notes: Whenever a team member speaks to you, listen with intent and jot down notes. This shows that you value their input and are committed to addressing their concerns. It creates an atmosphere of respect and inclusivity.

2. Act on Requests Promptly: Please respond to communications and requests as quickly as possible. If you can't resolve an issue immediately, please escalate it to someone who can. This builds trust and shows your team that their concerns are your priority.

3. Keep the Communication Loop Open: Regularly update your team on the status of their requests and feedback. People appreciate being kept in the loop, and this transparency fosters trust and loyalty.

4. Embrace Diverse Perspectives: Encourage your team to share their ideas and integrate their input into your decision-making process. It is essential to recognise that everyone sees a situation differently and that their unique perspectives can be invaluable.

5. Build Personal Connections: Take the time to get to know your team members individually. Ask about their interests, hobbies, and families. This creates a more supportive and connected work environment, boosting morale and productivity.

6. Avoid Authoritative Dismissal: Never dismiss someone's idea or suggestion with a curt, authoritative comment. It can be incredibly dehumanising and will quickly erode trust and respect.

7. Acknowledge and Credit Contributions: Always give credit where it's due. Recognising team members' contributions fosters a sense of pride and motivates them to continue putting their best foot forward.

The Benefits of Adopting a Collaborative Communication Style

Applying these principles Tony shares in his books and with many clients has profoundly impacted me, and everywhere I work. By listening more and leading empathetically, I've seen my team's performance and productivity soar. More importantly, when I attended the places where he taught these and other techniques, I saw how his clients talk with each other and with me and how businesses he consults built a culture of mutual respect and collaboration that has been instrumental in helping these businesses overcome numerous challenges on demanding projects.
