“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
George Bernard Shaw
This quote speaks to me at the moment. Over the last month people who need communication help have been coming forward to get a bit of advice and support. Here’s 8 business4good tweets from last week all aimed at promoting effective communication:
- Each message must have a clear objective
- Don’t ask questions. Build on what you just heard by making it your own.
- Don’t over-prepare and get locked into a script
- Forget the impact measurement for a mo and invite the donor round instead
- It’s much easier to influence someone who likes you.
- Be an ethical communicator
- Speak simply – it’s more effective than spinning a concept around in fluffy clouds
- Strategic communication effectiveness: 4 useful things to measure
