The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

- George Bernard Shaw

 

Where, physically, does communication take place? Is it in the sound waves that carry our voice? Is it in your brain that gets the idea or the voice box that verbalizes it?

 

If you have been caught up in this hattrick of questions and are wondering about the answers…well, shift gears now!

 

Communication, actually, happens at the level of your listener. It is their state of mind or the personality traits they carry that actually complete the ‘circuit of communication’.

More than your credentials or the audience profile, what is critical to communication is that your listener is ready to take. As an evolved presenter communicator, your sole aim has to be to give your full, wholesome self to any presentation you give.

 

Just being open is the first step. Here’s an illustration to explain this.

 

Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of HubSpot, once published an article on his wiki page entitled “Ask Dharmesh Anything.” The article’s purpose was to encourage communication between the CTO, management, and the rest of the workforce, and it did achieve results. The question-based culture within the company meant the collective knowledge quotient of the office increased.

 

With this in mind, we bring to you a complete communication playbook PowerPoint deck to make your presentation the go-to guide for business communication. Each slide within the presentation is 100% editable and content-ready.

 

Remember, only what the audience gets or takes is relevant; what you say and the major part of your knowledge that did not reach your audience is immaterial. It might pinch a bit, but this is the hard reality of communication, a field that has been researched to the depth of the ocean. Let’s dive right into our presentation that will bring novelty and help you crack the code to your listeners’ learning button.
