Communicating

with Colleagues

How to keep a
positive atmosphere in
the workplace
 Thank you for
joining me today.
My name is Ali
Michaels.
• I'm a communications head.
• I'm a public speaker.
• I'm also a self-published author.
Keep it real.
Honesty goes a
long way.
To maintain a harmonious relationship with coworkers,
you must be truthful in what you say and how you act.
Letting colleagues know your honest opinion about
different matters can help bring clarity to any situation.
It also builds trust in the workplace, which make work
easy and enjoyable.
Speak
your mind.
It may not be easy to let your coworkers
know about your qualms on certain
matters, but this will help them understand
you better as an individual. Though this is
an important step, always remember to
think before you speak.
Keep it positive.
Speaking honestly doesn't always
ensure a positive outcome. It matters
how you deliver your thoughts and how
your actions reflect your words.
Strive to maintain a positive and
forward-thinking approach when
interacting with colleagues.
Mind your tone and ensure you're coming
from a place of sincerity.

Consider where your coworkers are

coming from and understand their
perspective on any given situation.

Provide feasible solutions that are favored

by the majority of your colleagues.
Keep your cool.
It won't always be
smooth sailing.
There is no perfect workplace. Depending on the
situation, you may get into a heated argument or
at the very least, develop misunderstandings with your
coworkers.

Rectify any issue by communicating truthfully.

Confrontation may be difficult, but setting aside time to
talk and settle matters in a calm manner will do wonders
for your relationship with your coworkers.
 Foster a workplace respectful
and accepting of different
ideas.
Set an
example. Be kind in your interactions
and be quick in mending any
communication issues.
Be a positive change.
