That high-pitched screech. The sudden jolt. The scramble to hit the mute button. It's loud. It's obnoxious. And worst of all—it's out of control. We've all been there. That moment when a microphone spirals into chaos because it's picking up and amplifying its own signal. It doesn't just disrupt the message—it makes people want to leave the room. Ironically, that's often how feedback feels in the workplace, too.
The Problem Isn't the Feedback—It's the Frequency
In communication, when we don't understand the unique “frequencies” people operate on, we end up amplifying confusion instead of clarity. What starts as a helpful suggestion quickly escalates into misunderstanding, defensiveness, or silence. That's the human version of microphone feedback—no one hears the message, just the noise.
That's Where Communication IQ Comes In
Communication IQ is the practical framework that helps you identify the seven predictable communication styles—and understand how to deliver feedback in a way that actually lands. Instead of broadcasting your message at full volume, Communication IQ equips you to tune in:
- Know when someone needs directness or gentleness
- Understand who values compassion over structure
- Identify who needs time to reflect and who thrives in real-time dialogue
When You Understand the Language, You Eliminate the Screech
The result? No more scrambling to hit “mute” on tough conversations. No more lost trust, missed signals, or emotional static. Just meaningful feedback delivered with clarity, precision, and respect. Because feedback should be a bridge—not a breakdown. If you've ever experienced communication feedback that made everyone wince, maybe it's time to tune your frequency. Let's connect and explore how Communication IQ can help your team communicate with confidence.
