Communications Strategy

There are five strategic steps in communication:

• Decide WHAT you wish to communicate
• Decide TO WHOM you wish to communicate
• Think about the BIASES of the listener
• Decide HOW you should communicate
• COMPOSE and TRANSMIT your message

These simple steps are mind-intensive and require you to think well before making any form of speech. Be it formally or informally. It will breed respect for who you are and what you propose to be. People will want to listen to you because they know everytime you open your mouth to speak, you are very much aware of them and have tailored your speech towards them.

Start practising these steps in little conversations that you make everyday e.g. amongst your colleagues, amongst family members, amongst your friends. Give yourself a definite period of time, say one week, after which you'll personally check your progress. Keep at it for about a month and before you know it, it will become a part of you that you will definitely carry to the stage or to the pulpit.
