COMMUNICATION
Communication is at the heart of every relationship. Your message has to be clear, concise, and targeted, regardless of the method you use to deliver it. Words matter; graphics matter; tone of voice matters; time and place matter. There is a growing plague of TMI (too much information) and too little meaningful dialogue. The human voice was invented before email, texting, and Twitter. Body language speaks volumes. Listening, getting input, and analyzing the environment are critical elements of successful communication. Internal communication is sometimes more challenging than external communication, as every family, business, agency, congregation, and civic and personal interest group knows all too well. I'll help you to get back to the basics and soar into the brave new world of communications.
