Your Intended Message
Are you clear on your intended message? Are you aware of the possible unintended message? What’s the gap and why the gap? If your listener, audience or target market didn’t get your message as intended, who needs to change? Business communication can be highly exnihilating when it succeeds. It can also be deeply frustrating when it fails. In this podcast you will hear stories of success and stories of woe when it comes to communication. You can learn from the success and mistakes of others to improve your success as a business communicator. Imagine the difference when your intended message gets delivered and received more often.
