As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.

Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo, a Spanish tutor at italki, and today we're going to talk about some Colombian words that you may not find in your regular dictionary. Let's see what they mean!

1. Estrenar: Esta palabra significa "to use something for the first time". En Colombia, "estrenar" se usa mucho cuando compras algo nuevo, como ropa, zapatos o incluso un carro. Ejemplo: "Hoy voy a estrenar mi camiseta nueva."

2. Intenso: Aunque en inglés "intense" tiene un significado similar, en Colombia "intenso" no solo describe una persona o una situación fuerte, sino que también puede referirse a algo o alguien que es un poco demasiado, como una persona que está siempre hablando o buscando atención. "Mi amigo es muy intenso, no para de hablar."

3. Parcero: Esta es una palabra muy común en Colombia para referirse a un amigo cercano, como si dijieras "buddy" o "pal" en inglés. Es una manera muy cariñosa y amigable de dirigirse a alguien. Ejemplo: "¿Qué más, parcero? ¿Cómo vas?"

4. Enguayabado: Esta palabra describe a una persona que tiene resaca, generalmente después de haber bebido mucho alcohol. "Enguayabado" es el estado en el que estás al día siguiente de una fiesta. Ejemplo: "Ayer me fui de fiesta y hoy estoy enguayabado, no puedo con la vida."

And that's all for today. If you have questions or want to learn more about Colombian Spanish, don't hesitate to book a class with me. You can find more information in my profile. See you next time!
