Business Communication
My morning today started with a great session on the importance of communication in consulting and how to build a personal brand by one of the NITIE Alumni Mr. Nikhil Kulkarni.
He shared his mantras of how to be a successful Consultant and what is the key to their success?
Consulting is a predominantly a client-facing role, where you have to effectively communicate with the customer so that he is utmostly convinced with the solutions you have put forward. You have to be a pioneer in business communication to become a successful consultant. Communication is the game-changer here. It can make or break a deal.
He touch-based upon the magic created by the combination of Microsoft Word, Excel & Powerpoint- THE TRIMURTY of any business operations.
He also explained in length about how to structure your thoughts and adopt the below pointers:
1. The Pyramid Principle.
2. MECE: Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive.
3. Use of Hierarchical Structure to Organise your Ideas and supporting Evidence.
'Our Ideas should stand out of the Crowd' - How do we do that? Curious?
Follow the below Tips and Tricks: For higher impact begin with-
- A startling Statistic or Image
- A Quotation from someone famous that is relevant to your presentation.
- A Video to grab Attention
- A Question
- An Activity
The crux for the session was Personal Branding. Why and When to create a Personal Brand? OR Whether to create one or not?
