Watch

Communicate tobe understood.

Repeating yourself does not mean your audience has understood you. Andrew explains how to make your message clearer and meet people at their level.

Andrew Tsuro at SARB Learning Week, from “Level Up Your Power Skills”. Clip: 1 minute 52 seconds.

Clear communication starts with understanding your audience.

And if you find yourself repeating yourself over and over again, chances are you need to take a step back and question: how well am I communicating to this audience? If I come in here and I speak about the same topic in Dutch, and none of you understand it, no communication has taken place. And so, for many of us, we are talking and we are mistaking it for communication.

Earlier I mentioned to you: communication is like water. The last time I remember, we couldn’t drink water from the tap because it could be murky, could have things, some bubbles, and it’s unclear.

And so I want to ask you today to think about how you can be effective in your communication skills. How can you make your communication skills clearer, so that what I say and what you understand are one and the same thing?

How do we get to doing that? We start working on our communication skills. And working on our communication skills starts with you, number one, knowing your audience. What is your audience interested in? And then meeting them at the level at which they are, not at the level at which you are—at the level at which they are.

AI and people

The Future Is Human

Winning in the age of AI

As AI changes how work gets done, leaders still need to make responsible decisions about what to trust, what to question and who remains accountable.
