When we think about how to become a better communicator, we often think about the tools we use: our PowerPoint deck, our posture and our poise. And these are crucial. But the real key to sustained, long-term improvement and success as a communicator might surprise you, in part because they are simple, easy to implement and available to everyone:
- Attitude (positive and proactive)
- Commitment (total and persistent)
- Training (thorough and long term)
Now you have the right attitude, commitment and training --what next?
Jerry will explain four major skill sets to improve communication:
- Assess: Analyze honestly your own skill and the challenge in front of you.
- Message: Craft a clear, persuasive and compelling argument.
- Document: Support that message with slides or other supplementary media.
- Deliver: Present your message with confidence and clarity.
