Communication Tips for Leadership - 12 of 15


Communication Tips  (SERIES)
Tip #12.  Behind Door #3
Our audience can lose faith in us if we demonstrate an underdeveloped thought or behavior.  One way we can avoid this situation is by eliminating pre-determined solutions from our messages.  See below for some options.
Best Practices:
  • Removing the “this OR that” wording — it creates two options when there could be many more
  • Rewording “THE way to achieve that is…” to state “ONE way to achieve that is…”
  • Using the word “options”
We hope this helps make your messages more open and appealing to your audiences.  Good luck!
