It wasn't smooth sailing getting into Angola, with some hefty delays on arrival at Luanda's international airport. Angola only introduced a tourist e-visa just prior to Covid, and this became clear on arrival! Listen to this episode to find out why it took 4 hours from my plane landing for me to walk out of the airport terminal.

A painful arrival into Angola

In today's fast-paced business world, the pressure to deliver is constant. Emails ping incessantly, meetings fill calendars, and impromptu conversations become the norm.  Yet, amidst this whirlwind, a crucial element often gets sidelined: preparation.  Think about it – wouldn't a perfectly executed presentation or a flawlessly delivered pitch be infinitely more effective than a last-minute scramble?

The truth is, effective communication in business is rarely spontaneous.  It's a carefully crafted strategy, and the cornerstone of that strategy is pre-communication planning.  Just as athletes train before a competition, successful business professionals invest time in readying themselves for critical communication moments.

The Power of Preparation in Action:

Consider the scenario: You have a critical meeting with a potential investor.  By investing time in pre-communication planning, you've:

Researched their investment portfolio: You can tailor your pitch to align with their specific interests.
Developed a clear, concise presentation: You highlight the problem your business solves and the value proposition.
Anticipated potential questions: You have well-rehearsed responses that address any investment concerns.
The result? A confident, compelling presentation that positions your business for success.

Investing in Pre-Communication Planning:

Pre-communication planning isn't just about efficiency; it's about maximizing impact and minimizing missteps.  By dedicating time to prepare, you'll project confidence, inspire trust, and ultimately achieve your communication goals.  Remember, in the business world, first impressions matter – so make yours count with the power of preparation.
