Communicating is both science and art
Networking is critical for your future success
Working with Non Profits provides mutually beneficial outcomes
I've noticed two things about men who get big salaries. They are almost invariably men who, in conversation or in conference, are adaptable. They quickly get the other fellow's view. They are more eager to do this than to express their own ideas. Also, they state their own point of view convincingly.John Hallock, early member of the House of Representatives
There is a science to communication
There is an art to communication
There are common misperceptions about effective communication
Remember there is always a “customer” for your communication
Understand the customer’s needs and wants before you deliver your request or directive
Always assume positive intent
Simple is clear; clarity enables understanding and action
Be present, open and connected
Speaking
Going Last
Telling
Simplicity
Science
Listening
Going First
Asking
Complexity
Art
Learning to effectively communicate will enable higher performance
“I like to define networking as cultivating mutually beneficial, give-and-take, win-win relationships… The end result may be to develop a large and diverse group of people who will gladly and continually refer a lot of business to us, while we do the same for them.” –Bob Burg, National Best Selling Author
