The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as if it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. George Orwell

Have you ever wished that you could have said that better? Wished that you could say what you mean and mean what you say? That they just didn't understand what you meant? I have been there and I wanted to share with you what I have been taught in being more effective in communications,for interviews, the Internet, writing in your blogs and more.

Rule #1: Know What's at Stake: Why are you talking with the people. What do you want to get out of this? Lay out what you want to communicate. What is your purpose? Who are you talking to? Fill out a script to plan your strategy and then communicate in a persuasive way.

Rule #2: Define your terms: Why are you talking to people. What do you want to get out of this. Lay out what you want to communicate. What is your purpose. Who are you talking too. Write out a script to plan your strategy. Talk in a persuasive way.

Rule #3 : You are the Expert: Remind yourself that nobody knows more about your company as you do.. For example you are asked to speak at the Chambers and you are a little nervous about it. Remind your self you are the only one there to share information on your company. Prepare your information then you will be able to share so much better

Rule #4 An interview is not a conversation. When you answer questions. You don't want to get in an argument. You want to the reporter to pick up on your positive answers. Ask yourself a question What impression do I want to make then answer in a positive, high energy manner.

Rule #5 Understand the Environment. What's it going to be like. Is it going to be on the phone, in a business office, in front of a client? If it's going to be on the phone and you feel better standing up to talk then go ahead, if you have to move your hands while you are talking, go ahead. Whatever makes you comfortable.

If you are going to be in front of a camera, practice first in front of a camera. This will give you the training that you need first.

Rule #6 Have a Positive attitude: Did you know that 93% of what you communicate comes from body language? The first image is what people remember. So have a positive attitude. Try to relax, but be interested and friendly.

Rule #7 Answers are more important than questions: Why are answers are more important than questions. Give your answers in a positive prepared way, in a responsive way. If you prepare first then you can go where you need to go with your message.

I hope that I have given you some ideas and tips to help you communicate more effective.
