7 Powerful Secrets to Becoming Indestructible in Business

Godfather_donvito

Many business professionals and employers alike are coming to a conclusion. When asked “what skill do you have to have to be indestructible in business?”, a harrowingly large majority of them have a single, unanimous answer to this: communication skills. Rarely, if ever, this skill is seen as a hindrance. In almost every possible venue of business, it is seen as an asset– an incredibly valuable one at that. There are many secrets to becoming a good communicator but it does not happen overnight. However, with how valuable this commodity is, it is critically important to take action and learn how to utilize it. Today, we will look at the seven secrets of great communicators.

#1) TAKE ACTION

Taking the initiative is one of the most surefire signs of a confident communicator. What this means is that you should not be the one to be approached but, instead, should be the one who approaches. If everyone must initiate a conversation with you in order to get you to communicate, then you will give off the impression that you lacky confidence and energy. You must take action.

#2) DON’T BULLSHIT

What does this mean? Well, it’s somewhat obvious: always be truthful. People can usually tell when you are full of it and those innate signals can have a deleterious effect on your persona as a whole and thereby your perception as a communicator.

#3) WATCH BODY LANGUAGE

People communicate with their body much more than we expect. As humans, we innately understand most of the bodily signals which are sent to us from another person. However, if we tune in and watch body language intentionally, we can gain critical insight that can help us mold our communicative abilities, putting people at ease.

#4) BE OPEN-MINDED

Being open-minded is crucial to being a good communicator. The more you understand another person’s viewpoint, the more you can communicate to that person’s concerns. 

#5) KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT

Psychologists have found that if you know what you’re talking about you communicate much more effectively. I know, it seems obvious, but so many of us neglect this fact. In business, this means understanding your surroundings so that you can be comfortable when communicating with others about them.

#6) BE SPECIFIC

Specificity is critically important for any communicator because it shows that you have a good understanding of your surroundings. The more specific you are, the more confident you sound.

#7) LISTEN

It may seem odd, but the biggest secret to being a good communicator is exactly the opposite of speaking. But it’s true. Listening to others not only helps build your own communication skills, but it also shows that you understand and are capable of having a meaningful discussion with others.  

At the end of the day, strengthening your communication skills will ensure you can be indestructible in your business.

I pity President Buhari- Nasir El-Rufai says

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he pities President Buhari because the two times he's become president of Nigeria was when the country was going through rough economic periods. El-Rufai said this while speaking at the Sunday Service of the Latter Rain Assembly which he attended yesterday July 31st. “We have always known that there is massive corruption in Nigeria but the revelations of the past one year have shocked even the most pessimistic of critics. Nearly 70 per cent of Nigeria’s oil revenues disappeared without a trace. Of course, there must be consequences for that. When we sit down with President Buhari these days, I pity him. I pity him because he has always become President anytime Nigeria is in trouble. First, it was after the NPN (National Party of Nigeria) government had almost grounded the economy (in 1984) and now, after a massive looting of the nation’s treasury; and he has to lead the team to fix it”he said Attend Professional Blogging
