In a world full of jargon, technical terms, and buzzwords, it is more important than ever to be able to write and talk in a strategically powerful way.
In his most recent article (linked below), Alex M H Smith argues that many business professionals use vague, complex, and abstract language that obscures their meaning and weakens their impact.
The article offers four tips to improve your strategic communication skills:
- Use concrete examples and evidence to support your claims, rather than relying on generalizations and assumptions.
- Avoid jargon, buzzwords, and acronyms that may confuse or alienate your audience, and instead use plain and familiar words that convey your message clearly.
- Structure your sentences and paragraphs logically, using transitions and connectors to show the relationships between your points and guide your reader or listener through your argument.
- Be concise and direct, eliminating unnecessary words and phrases that add no value or clarity to your communication.
Strategic communication is not only a skill, but also a mindset that requires you to be aware of your purpose, audience, and context, and to constantly seek feedback and improvement.
