Effective Communication

Effective Communication is a ‘must have’ in this electronic age. Being an effective communicator takes real skill. Communication skills have to be developed, honed and added to on an on-going basis. Communication is the basis of interpersonal skills and the greater your awareness of how it all works, the more effective your communication will be. To be effective in business, you have to communicate well.

To be a good manager, you have to communicate exceptionally well. Communication is individual. We are not all the same. There is never one right way to communicate. Authentic effective communication always happens when we reply on those things we know to be true about or for ourselves.

Your personal style can say more for you than all the words you use can. Most people look at what is wrong with themselves and other people, rather than focusing on what already works. Remember many things have to be working well for you to have got this far already. The communication cycle works as follows and you can take responsibility for every stage:

Spoken - Heard - Understood - Agreed To - Acted On - Implemented.

In Toastmasters you will become aware of where you or others tend to fall off the cycle. So, can I give you any greater reason for joining Speak Easy Toastmasters?

Speak Easy Toastmasters meet in the Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, on alternate Thursdays from 8-10pm and we would love to meet you.

You can come along as our guest for the evening and rest assured, you will not be asked to speak as guests at a toastmasters meeting never are.

Tonight we will be in the capable hands of Toastmaster for the night, Jerry Kelleher. Keeping us on our toes with his chosen topics is Topicsmaster, Noel O'Connor. Jerry Mulcahy as General Evaluator will have the final say on how the meeting went. Members presenting speeches will be, Dennis Taylor, Liam Flynn, John Dillon, Anne Buckley and Mary Buckley

So why not come along to the Hibernian Hotel and see for yourself, you will be delighted that you did.

We meet at 7.50 for an 8pm start. Looking forward to meeting you.
