Why Aren’t We Talking?
In Episode 6, we discussed Talking Paaaast Each Other and how active listening can help. Then in Episode 7, we tackled conflict resolution with our five-word phrase, “What Is This Really About?”
In this episode, we address a third type of issue couples in business can face.
And that is….NOT COMMUNICATING AT ALL
This might be an even bigger problem than the other two topics, since communication is key to a successful partnership – professionally and personally.
And ironically, if you’re finding it easier to just NOT talk to your spouse, that’s EXACTLY what you need to do most.
There are varying degrees of-and causes for-radio silence.
Some are easy to fix.
MINOR ISSUE/EASY FIX
You might think:
You’re Too Busy
It’s Unnecessary
It Should Happen Organically
The reality is … communication HAS to be part of your daily and/or weekly schedule and to do that you need to make it a priority and book the time.
This could be a quick update over coffee in the morning or a daily or weekly official meeting. But don’t let days or weeks go by without a check-in with your partner.
BIG ISSUE/HARDER TO FIX
You might be:
Angry or Frustrated
Feeling Disrespected
Losing Interest in the Business
In these situations, it might be time to schedule a retreat to tackle the issues that are bothering the two of you.
It might be time to ask for professional help from a therapist.
Because not communicating will not only NOT solve any issues it will likely make them worse.
