Final tips
• Pay attention to your body language, it can communicate more than you think.
• do not try to get too many messages across. People do not retain more than three ideas from a presentation or a discussion.
• Use face-to-face communication as much as possible as people generally prefer that type of communication.
• Be aware of the danger of misinterpretation or misunderstanding while communicating in a multicultural environment.
• Effective communication is timely and open.
• Share the thinking not just the conclusion.
• If there are no bad news or issues, it does not mean there is nothing to communicate.
• Communication is a process not a product (information needs interaction).
