Communicate to Influence the TED way
The current COVID crisis and our ever-evolving virtual workspace has created a greater than ever need for effective communication skills. Communication skills are now one of the most sought -after attributes in jobpostings, even more than leadership skills. But many still see this as a “soft skill”. It’s not. Learning to communicate effectively through the “Zoom” or any virtual platform is now considered an essential skill. Yet, most people don’t have tons of time to develop this skill to the level they need to stay competitive and stand out. Using TED-style storytelling and speaking skills is a proven way to elevate your communication skills to the level needed to influence, lead and stand out from any platform, virtual or if we ever get to do it again – in person.
