Hear Communication Expert Dianna Booher Discuss Her New Book About E-Mail Strategies
Dianna Booher has earned a stellar reputation as a keynote speaker, business consultant and executive presence coach. And let’s note, too, her prolific writing career. Her most recent publication–Faster, Fewer, Better E-Mails–is her 48th book.
In the video above, I interview Dianna about the e-mail recommendations her book provides. You and your colleagues will want to listen to her advice, which will help you “manage the volume, reduce the stress and love the results,” as the subtitle says.
The book release is set for June 18. However, you can order prior to the publication date through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
Again, I encourage you and your business associates to watch this lively, informative interview. Suggestion: Show it during a staff meeting, and then discuss how you will implement Booher’s e-mail approach.

Listeners and Readers Want You to Use Ordinary Words
In both speaking and writing, sometimes we believe we will make a highly favorable impression by using big words–including some of the ones we learned in freshman English class in college.
Watch the above video (which lasts less than two minutes) to hear me offer the opposite view, and give examples of big words we can discard by using simpler words that still get the point across.

Have you noticed how little you hear about the importance of good conversational skills if you want to excel in business?

But few people talk about how conversational skills play a significant role in our business careers.
That’s why I invite you to watch this brief video above. You’ll hear me mention situations where lively conversation will make a highly positive impression for you.
Also, jot down the tips I give for business conversations that work well.

Jeff Dantzler: How Business Leaders Can Benefit From Sports
Jeff Dantzler has excelled in sports journalism for decades. He’s earned wide respect for his coverage of the University of Georgia’s sports, especially with his highly visible post as a football game radio host. Additionally, he has worked internationally in three Olympic Games. Definitely, he has mastered the media.
I asked Jeff to respond to comments I sometimes hear from my business clients:
“Going to sporting events would be a waste of my time. Gotta stay at my office and get the job done.”
“Heck, I don’t even take the time to read about sports.”
Check Jeff’s response during this lively interview–appearing at the top of this post– held on the “Biz Communication Show,” which I host weekly.
3 Words That Will Boost Your Persuasive Power
In every profession you need persuasive power. Examples:
–Teachers must persuade students that the difficult information they have to learn will be well worth the effort.
–Coaches persuade players to develop their skills, stamina, and motivation.
–Real estate professionals persuade buyers to “buy this house, because it is perfect for you.”
–New managers persuade the team members that their new leader is competent and fair.
–Fund raisers persuade potential donors their charitable organization will use gifts to help people in need.
Fortunately, there is an almost magical question you will find very useful for persuading–as I have for three decades.
To learn that phrase, watch my brief video, at the top of this post.

Disgusting Visual Aids Don’t Support Your Words
Yes, visual aids will bring your words to life. As a Speech Coach, I have been teaching that for years.
However, not just any visual aid will do. Disgusting ones will distract and even revolt your audience.
Example: The grocery store customer told me he likes dogs. Very fine so far.
Yet then he pulled off his shirt–entirely–and pointed to his two dogs, displayed on a large tattoo on his arm. As you can guess, I would have preferred no visual aid at all.
So when you’re planning a visual aid to amplify your words, be sure you are sensitive to how the audience might react. Stay on the safe side, and you’ll get your meaning across more tastefully.
