Making Expressive Business Communication Blog
Communication lies at the heart of any business. This did not mean believing they were stupid (something business people often wrongly assume about those who read their communications) but that they just knew nothing about what I was trying to get across. It can be just like Business and Administrative Communication in many ways. I was frustrated that they couldn’t understand what I was talking about and they were frustrated that I couldn’t understand what they were talking about.
This is not an uncommon problem in business. It would be similar to a business communications textbook many times. And unfortunately, they have also been a studier of human societies and civilizations for long enough to see the problematic nature of the flow of information.
It’s time to start planning ahead for your business communication future. I’ve often read in books about writing that you should think of yourself having a conversation. We were both very clear in our minds about which part this was and so never bothered to clear this up. Is it true that not everyone can be trusted with information? Many people would agree, some would go so far as to say that humans cannot be trusted with information, but why? Well, information is power and if you power-up those who cannot control their integrity levels or choose not to, then in a way giving them the information makes you an accessory to their actions.
You will be able to see a miniature of whoever you are talking too, watch the body language and get a much better feel for the conversation. There is a simple thing that can be done to improve any businesses communications and yet few businesses ever pay any attention to it. Oftentimes, it can be just like a business textbook. If it is true that experts are people who have made lots of mistakes then I am a super expert.
