Effective Communication (with words & actions)

I was reminded today that effective communication is key to success in any profession. One simple yet powerful approach to good communication is:

1. Tell people what you’re going to do
2. Do it
3. Tell people what you did

This clear and transparent approach builds trust, sets expectations, and ensures accountability. By following these steps, you can:

– Manage stakeholder expectations
– Demonstrate reliability and dependability
– Showcase your accomplishments

Interestingly, this approach is similar to what I learned as a pastor for effective sermon communication:

1. Introduction: Tell people what you’re going to say
2. Sermon: Say it
3. Conclusion: Tell people what you said

This framework helps ensure that the message is clear, concise, and memorable. Whether in the pulpit or the boardroom, good communication is essential for connecting with your audience and driving results.

Remember, good communication is not just about conveying information, but also about building relationships and trust. Try this approach in your daily work and see the positive impact it can have!
