Slow news day

Slow news day

A look at today’s headlines suggests a slow news day. The emphasis seems to be on money, the lifeblood of business, with banks drawing back from bonus schemes and politicians trying to claw back £1 donations to charity (allegedly).

It makes one wonder how would you present that one to the finance department? Presentations are a part of every day life, whenever we interact with colleagues or customers we can use the communication skills we have developed to make effective contact with the other person. Granted it may not always be wise to fire up the PowerPoint in order to explain our preference for tea over coffee (or vice versa) but understanding how our words are heard and understood can be of tremendous benefit in our day-to-day business.

Making reasonable links between what we say and the tone of voice employed, and the accompanying body language can lead to great progress in our communication style no matter the size of the ‘audience’.

Of course, and here comes the pitch, if we don’t have the skills or understand the nuts and bolts of presenting to a group we cannot be benefited by them.

At skillpresentations.com we can develop those skills.
