EDG2504. What's the Point in Communication?

Communication. The thing we’ve been talking about for decades is still important - perhaps now more than ever with the fast pace of business and prevalence of remote working. It can be frustrating to feel that others don’t understand what you’re trying to say. They may even take away something from the conversation that was not your intent to convey. Repeating the same information is exhausting yet it’s easier than deciding how to say it differently. Even easier is shutting down and not communicating at all. Spoiler alert: That’s not a great idea. Have you ever carefully prepared a presentation or a response, but it falls flat or, even worse, gets a negative response in return? What went wrong? The way you communicate says a lot about you and, while words are important, there’s much more to it. Don’t leave communication on the back burner to address another day.
