Communication is the only way of getting information across to the other party. However good the information, quick and effective deliverance is extremely important as the attention span of most of us today is very short, and this is especially so if the material being communicated is rather boring.

Since our minds are crammed with so much of information, there is very little time or space to indulge in frivolous and irrelevant information thus the need to be precise and quick when communicating. Also, with hectic schedules and distractions to contend with, it is often quite hard to take the time to stop and pay attention to what is being communicated.

Hi I’m Brent Dalley and I have spent my career teaching, coaching, counselling, instructing, encouraging, interviewing and sometimes even firing people. I have written several courses on the various aspects of communication and I have written this one just for you. The person who just wants to get down to the basics and get the job done.

With that in mind I have prepared this course to give you the information you need to ensure the information you are communicating is done so in the shortest possible time frame, and yet will be fully understood by the receiving party, your audience: keep those two keys in mind, shortest time and fully understood.

Did you know that the most common reason for miscommunication is when the presenter doesn’t really understand the message or even himself? It’s important enough that I included it in this course and addressed it first.

Next you will learn how to use terms that invoke emotion in yourself and your audience.

I touch on body language as sometimes your audience will form an immediate opinion of you based on your body language and, if negative, that communication in less than 30 seconds has effectively shut down any further communication.

Since this is a quick course on developing high impact communication skills to get you message across in a minute or less then we will move on to the next section on learning to use terms that spark interests, However, if body language is a mystery to you or you just need more information I have included body language lectures from another course I teach on communicating skills. You will find these as an additional section at the end of this course.

Finally, at the end of this course I will help you understand why a one minute presentation is so important in today’s world.

Thanks for you time. I hope to see you on the inside.
