Choose Wisely

In your "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar, you learn that, when it comes to the content of your message, the words you choose and use DO say a lot about you. And, you are then encouraged to choose wisely.

Why? Well, first examine examples of those who did NOT choose so wisely. Recently a report by CareerBuilder listed some major gaffes found on job applications. And as you see, most, if not all, of these gaffes could have easily been avoided.

One guy had the word "insanity" as part of his E-mail address. Conjures up an image, huh? Another had "lovesbeer" as a part of his.

While using pop language, or "hip" talk, might help you convey the message or image you want to convey, understand that not all of your receivers will find that to be a good image. The fact that you're a person who "lovesbeer" might say several things about you in certain situations. But, in others, it may be completely inappropriate and even damaging to your message's effectiveness. All because you simply chose the wrong words to use.

Call or E-mail today to schedule your own "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar for your group or business, 913-631-2985, bkthrucomm@aol.com. You'll be a hero for doing it.
