Discussion:
Mindful communication plays crucial role in the business context as it develops
understanding, trust rapports as well as responsiveness. These factors are valuable attributes
in maintaining business growth, negotiation, relationship, leadership as well as in training,
wholesome parenting, teaching and counselling (Pachitanu 2016). mindful communication
has three layers. Interpersonal where we interact with self, interpersonal where we interact
with other people and transpersonal which is interactions with subtle realms.
Emotional intelligence helps an organization to lift itself to excellence through
relationship functions. It revolves round the relationships mong the colleagues, directors,
staffs even suppliers, competitors and all the stakeholders of the company (Naseem 2017). I
believe, emotional intelligence helps to overcome many difficulties and it makes people
productive, as well as efficient. With high emotional intelligence we attain in depth
knowledge of any particular matter that help us to become committed with the organizations
as well as confident with our skills.
Holistic systems perspective approaches consider the inter-relational, interdependent
as well as contextual aspects of any incident which apply integrated and inclusive mind set
for solving problem (Lozano, Carpenter and Huisingh 2015). We utilise the holistic approach
to integrate various assumptions and knowledge to methods for implying them in various
disciplines. We can participate in dynamic conversation about various processes which will
treat different perspectives as integrated whole.
Empathy in workplace is to demonstrate respect for the emotions of the others and
showcase the care for the co-workers this factor has been used by the eminent leaders in their
team building aiming to increase productivity of their firms (Cozolino 2014). This concept
helps us to realise the actual need so that we can cater the necessary assistance. Empathy

makes the people in the organization feel secured and important therefore they always remain
motivated. The employees under an empathetic leader, are more committed to their
organizations and process inclusive growth.
Post 1:
I feel that mindful communication is closely related to emotional intelligence and
empathy. I like to think the meaning of what I say to people because through effective
communication I can reach people as well as capture or impress them. When we speak with
one another, we share our thoughts which create platform for holistic perspectives. In my
school days, I used to write beautiful words uttered by others so that I could use them in my
communication. However, I ponder about the through that is that necessary to be a mindful
communicator to show empathy to others, or how emotionally intelligent a person could be.
Post 2:
We all embrace unexpected incidents or people to excel in our lives but in doing so
we lose the fastest path to our happiness which is to build a positive relationship through
mindful communication, holistic perspective and emotional intelligence. I often ask questions
to myself like Only showcasing empathy to others do really build effective relationship? Or
does not it look like I investing my time as well as effort to empathise with others to serve my
interest? Each of these questions are true but empathising with others is the chief factor that
differentiate the best leader from the average one.
