This week, Colin tells you a story that will help to illustrate why it’s so important to challenge the traditional ways of communicating, and embrace the methods that can make our communication far more effective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When we actually consider the types of common communication and rate their effectiveness, we come to realise that nothing is really that perfect.
• Written communication and vocal address are far less effective than we sometimes believe.

BEST MOMENTS

'How do we communicate? What are the methods?’

‘The ways in which we communicate least effectively are the ones we use the most!’
