It's Q&A time for your presentation/meeting agenda item/talk/etc, and the thing you fear happens: you get a question and you have *no* idea how to answer it! In this Two Minute Communication Tip, I give you a few ways to handle this situation gracefully ...without letting them see you sweat or stammer!
Clarity and asking questions are crucial in communication because they prevent misunderstandings, ensure mutual understanding and build trust. Clear messages reduce confusion and save time, while asking questions promotes engagement, confirms accuracy and uncovers missing information. Together, they create a two-way dialogue that strengthens relationships and leads to better decisions and outcomes.
Knowing how and when to ask clarifying questions can help you in many situations by helping you understand what someone is saying to you. Regardless of your role within a team or organization, proper communication can have a direct impact on your efficiency. Asking the right clarifying questions is a valuable skill, but it takes research and practice. #ProlificEvolutions #ClarifyingQuestions #Communication https://lnkd.in/e3w6PpEh
Executive Communication Coach | Helping Professionals Speak with Confidence & Clarity
I’m often asked: “What’s the most important communication skill for professionals who want to grow?” My answer: Clarity. Clarity removes confusion. Clarity saves time. Clarity builds trust. And when you pair it with confidence and empathy (as my students are learning in our sessions), that’s when real transformation happens. You don’t need to speak more- you need to speak with more impact. Which do you feel you need more of right now: clarity, confidence, or empathy?
