Tangible Takeaways:Communicating with clarity takes intention!Your audiences need structure to know where you're headed and what you're doing. Otherwise, they're going to get lost and tune out.When you start any message, whether it's a voice message, voicemail, or voice memo- front load it with why you're sharing it or what you want from the conversation.If you notice yourself rambling, stop, pause, and say aloud, “My point is this…” That will repair the rambling episode and make you appear more focused.When you're communicating with clarity, pausing is a beautiful skill to have. It shows control, people listen, and is directly linked to credibility.About me:Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

Tangible Takeaways:Remember: people want to be pursued!Follow up beyond your comfort level. With high ticket offers, you need to follow up a minimum of nine times, and it could even be years before they are ready to buy.It is tempting to ask passively because it feels more comfortable, but resist this urge and ask with clarity.Anticipate the next step and make the process easy. Schedule your next follow-up before you end the conversation! You are not bothering anyone. Remember how busy you are and your own buying journey. It typically requires an extended hand from someone else. Always be nurturing people around you. Be kind, thoughtful, and generous. Communicate your value and share how you solve a problem for someone else.About me:Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

Tangible Takeaways:The goal is to project the image that you want to project.Have a point, and stick to it! You can do this by deciding your point in advance and sharing this upfront. People need to receive information with the point first, and details after, not the other way around.Avoid data dumping! We can think this boosts your credentials, but in reality, people can only take in so much information at once. Keep it simple.Make sure your message is relevant to your audience, and be wary of the curse of knowledge. Instead of shutting down new ideas, make sure that you are open. Even if you tried that idea before, give it 5 minutes of consideration and allow brainstorming to happen.Make sure expectations are clear, not unspoken, by asking, “What does ‘done' look like to you?”State the “why” up front! Make sure everyone on your team understands the why behind projects and tasks so they'll be more motivated to do them. About me:Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.
