Do you sometimes feel confused about following up with people?
It seems quite frivolous to even write this down, but it is true for lots of people. Me included. Although I am getting much better at it. In simple terms, I once worried that if I followed up with people “too early” they might just find that communication irritating.
This concern was propelled by being told that I can sometimes come across as overly ardent. Of course, it is that very intensity that I can thank for getting me where I am in my career.
The trick for me was taming my passion and adjusting that intensity to the environment, the person or the situation at hand.
For me, it all comes down to timing, respect and the opportunity to maximise communication optimistically, even if it is a difficult conversation. Once I set myself some clarity on how I could best serve the council, person or organisation I was in conversation with, the ease of following up became apparent.
I take great comfort in knowing that action leads to clarity. Even if it is not the ideal answer you might have wanted, the direction is still there to move forward.
Another perspective which I find incredibly helpful, is that it is a kindness to hold people accountable to deadlines you have mutually agreed upon. More often than not, they will be grateful for your follow up.
Do you sometimes struggle with following up? What techniques work best for you?
