Basic Communication
•Clarity
–The best candidate in the world won’t get the job if you can’t clearly and
concisely explain your background and your goals
•Empathy
–The ability to connect on an interpersonal level as well as making a connection
regardless of age, gender, education, ethnicity or financial status
•Enthusiasm
–A positive, engaged and upbeat attitude is key whether you are looking for a
job, making a presentation or speaking on the phone
•Negotiation
–Listening, brainstorming and mediation skills are critical to negotiating anything
in life especially salary or additional responsibility or a promotion
•Body Language
–Your body language includes your entrance into a room, your facial
expression, your eye contact and your posture.

Differentiation and Personal Branding
•Style
–Who are you, who do you want to be?
•Substance
–Say what you mean and mean what you say
•Delivery
–Brevity, conciseness, confidence
•Follow Up
–There are dozens of you and one interviewer. It’s your job
to make the call, write the thank you note, send the email
•Start living and delivering your personal brand today

Netiquette

Cyberspace and Social Media

–No picture, no future
•Twitter

Communication Pitfalls
•Filters
–Think before you speak, the greatest resume in the world will not
save a communication blunder
•Boundaries
–Know your audience, being politically correct is a virtue
•Space Invasion (at the office, at a networking event, in real life)
–The 3 foot rule rules
–The cubicle rule
•TMI (Too much information)
–Keep your personal life separate from your business life whether in
an interview, business meeting or at the water cooler
•Profanity
–Why it’s overrated
