The single biggest problem in communication is
the illusion that it has taken place.
~George Bernard Shaw
How to Effectively Communicate
Don’t beat around the bush.
Be assertive & clear in your
verbal and online/written
communication.
(But be kind.)
Content isn’t king—context
is king: Connect the dots
with your team’s priorities
and objectives.
Make it make sense.
Send random texts, emails,
DMs and IMs just to say
you’re here for them.Don’t forget to use the
phone or a webcam!
How to Effectively Communicate
A verbose or overly wordy
communicating style is
unappealing: Work towards
finding the appropriate
volume in your messaging.
Don’t dumb down or water
down your message:
Straight talk is the best
method. Be open, honest,
transparent and timely.Do not use solely one
medium.
Remember to use anything
at your disposal.
The art of better
communication is stopping
to check in on the process
of communication itself.
PEG: Pause. Examine. Go.
Don’t just react. Don’t hide and say nothing.
Pause and reflect, examine what you might
communicate, and then take action and go!
AND FINALLY…
