It isn't just what you say, it is how you say it. Intelligent people are often misunderstood because they don't articulate every sound in a word. They ramble, use run-on sentences, and incorporate filler words like umm and ah. Cleaning up these simple errors can ensure you are understood personally and professionally.
The structure of your conversations ensure clarity, too. Starting with your main point is more effective than "leading up to it." It also reduces the chance that you will over-explain. Short, simple sentences are the signs of a good communicator. You don't need to use "big words" to impress. Keep your conversations clean and simple.
This Scorecard has been designed to guide professionals just like you see their communication blind spots and provide instant, actionable steps on how to improve.
