People that talk about irrelevant things

You might feel like it’s a waste of time. You might prefer to focus on the task at hand. 

You’re busy and you just want to get on with it!

The thing is, some people prioritise relationship-building in their communications. For them, it’s important to connect before getting down to business.

If they do this, they’ll then be able to contribute in a more meaningful way.

So, you might be better off engaging in a bit of chit-chat in your next meeting. Indulge other people that want to do this.

We all have different communication styles. And it’s OK for others to communicate in a different style to you.
