Here's the replay.
"When people get too busy, it changes how they communicate." Jill Konrath.
Ever since I heard Jill say that, I've been noticing how true it is, and collecting ideas about how to SpeakStrong in a beyond-busy world. I've observed how people talk with one foot out the door, answer emails without having read them (if they answer at all), and listen while texting their friends. I've noticed people ask questions I answered already, answer questions I didn't ask, and make assumptions that don't apply. But mostly, I've noticed how much time is wasted correcting errors that would not have happened if people knew how to communicate in a beyond-busy world.
It takes a lot more time to correct errors due to hasty communication than it does to say it right the first time.
Busy-ness changes the rules and requirements of successful business communication.
In this free webinar you will discover:
- What going on? How busy-ness has changed the way people communicate.
- What five assumptions you can no longer make in a beyond-busy world.
- One very counter-intuitive tip that will increase the effectiveness of your communication.
- What you can do up front to minimize the fall-out from "gotta-go-communication"
- The top ten PowerPhrases you can use to cut through the noise of your busy-ness world.
- Where you need to be assertive and where you need to cut people some slack in this new world.
This webinar is complete but will be rescheduled to present live again. Enjoy the slides and handouts!

Description:
I found that no matter how useful information about how to succeed in the world is, there is always something that isn't a fit and either turns me off too much to try or overwhelms me when I do. This is my life. Your life is your own. We are unique. Speaking Strong is about saying what you mean and meaning what you say without being mean when you say it. That practice and the philosophy behind it leads to a different, more essential way of living. That includes career planning and goal setting. This webinar will help you find success principles you can live by.

How do you get good at anything? Practice. But practice what?

It shows you how to develop KQ: Kata Quotient: the ability to learn through practice. It then gives you a menu of communication practices to build your skills day by day.
