Breaking bad – the habits you should change... with Andy Bounds

Description:

Communication is crucial in our day-to-day life. However, our communication habits, both written and verbal, are often inefficient or ineffective.

In this episode, we’re speaking with business communications expert Andy Bounds about the importance of effective communication and the common mistakes people make when preparing for meetings, presentations and proposals. Andy highlights the importance of using the right channels and ensuring that we make a good first impression in business meetings and can sustain it, leading to good outcomes.

Quote:

"With communication, the most important two things to get right are the start and the end. So the start has to be engaging. And the end has to ask somebody to do something. So start engaging, and finish with a call to action."
