When you are preparing for your next Communication Moment whether a team meeting, presentation or annual review use this simple, focussed process to pay better attention to what you are doing, the results you are getting and what to work on in the future.
If you are asking people to give up their time to join a webinar then make it worthwhile for them and you. By following these 5 steps you will be well on your way to success.
To remember better, you need to revisit what you’ve learned.
This process of going back to old information to keep it fresh in your mind is known as retrieval. It’s a powerful learning technique and can be a game-changer for improving your communication skills.
Finishing a presentation with an “Any Questions?” slide misses an opportunity to reiterate your ask or motivate the audience to take the action you want. But there is also something even more wrong with this approach and misses the fundamental point of communication.
Doing something that is hard and discovering that you are not yet good at it is one thing. Committing to and following a process to improve is another – and separates the best from the rest.
Instead of people failing to understand a subject in enough detail, the barrier to good communication is frequently the (huge) depth of understanding itself or a desire to sound clever.
