“The Three ’C’s of Business Communication” are crucial to an internal or external communication structure in all businesses, no matter the industry or the vertical. Communication and understanding, or the lack thereof, is either beneficial or detrimental. The key is to elevate people and have a well-defined purpose.
“Justification subverts your own growth.”
– Brian Burkhart
Key Takeaways:
The Three ’C’s of Business Communication: clarity, conviction, and connection. When communication is broken, it’s often one of the three ’C’s, and one ‘C’ failing usually leads to the other three backfiring.
The best presenters all have something in common: Presenters like Steve Jobs are obsessive about what? About their audience. Sure they may not be the most tolerable people in an intimate situation, but speaking to the audience FOR the audience creates the best possible outcome.
Do not allow unawareness to control your success: Unawareness is a scourge upon a person or a business’s effectiveness to communicate. One must look in to be able to see out with clarity. How well are you communicating with the people around you?
Your business must have a well-defined purpose: The purpose your business stands for should not be process or product-oriented. It should be almost a meta-purpose. The reason you exist. It goes much deeper than the superficial. It is not “what you do,” it’s “why you do it.”
