What does great communication mean in the corporate world? In this video, I shared 10 Corporate Communication Skills You can MASTER even with bad English. English is not necessary for you to improve your communication skills. Corporate communication skills are more a product of how you structure and present your thoughts rather than the vocabulary and grammar you use. Job communication skills revolve around the functional aspect of communication rather than the presentable features of English or any other language.

You will see many people who are not very good with English but are considered very good communicators. Before jumping into the 10 tips let’s see the problems that people face with corporate communication. The first on the list is not speaking up. For example, you may think in a corporate meeting that you do not need to speak or somebody else will speak. So, the leaders don’t even recognize that there is an individual out there. The second reason people don’t talk is that they believe what they are saying is wrong or that they will be judged harshly for saying it. But the reality is that you don’t need to focus on these things.

Another issue they face is that people speak but don’t listen. You should develop the habit of listening. Sometimes people do listen but they end up speaking something entirely different. This is done because they believe that their answer may not strike the right chord with the viewer. The other person is also intelligent and they will keep coming back to the same question again and again. So, answer the question first and avoid speaking in circles. Communication is the most important thing that you need to focus on in the corporate world.

The first tip to improve your corporate communication skills is to listen. This is also a part of job interview communication skills. To learn how to communicate effectively with people you need to first focus on listening attentively. No communication skills course can teach you this unless you practice it daily and develop the habit of listening. Don’t speak up until you listen very carefully. The next thing is that you should keep your message as simple as possible. Try to tell young children around you what you do at work. This will massively improve your chances of properly explaining something to a CEO.

The next is elevator pitching. Try to tell someone around you what you did at work yesterday in a very concise way within 30 seconds or less. The next tip is that you must understand you can never ace communication. As you keep growing in your career the people you interact with or talk to will keep changing. Because of this, you must be a constant learner to improve your communication and keep working on it at all times. The next thing you need to do is remember that there is nothing like over-communication in the corporate world.

The next thing you should do is get constant feedback from people around you on how to improve. And also about things that you are doing right so that you can keep repeating those at all times. Next is that you need to read correctly and also write as correctly as you can. Next, you need to keep the answer-first approach in mind. You need to network with people from different backgrounds to further improve your communication skills. And lastly, you need to be as confident as possible. Hope you find this video valuable, see you again in the next one.
