Show Notes

Content that is relevant and meaningful to an audience is more likely to be heard, retained and acted upon. The word communication comes from the Latin for to “make common,” yet many of us start our message from the wrong place. As lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams shares in this Quick Thinks episode, by taking the time to learn about our audience and their needs, we can better craft our messages for them and be more useful, engaging and successful.

जो content audience के लिए relevant और meaningful होता है, उसे ज़्यादा ध्यान से सुना जाता है, याद रखा जाता है और उस पर action भी लिया जाता है। Communication शब्द Latin भाषा से आया है, जिसका मतलब है “to make common,” यानी चीज़ों को साझा करना। लेकिन हम में से कई लोग अपना message गलत जगह से शुरू करते हैं। जैसा कि lecturer और podcast host Matt Abrahams इस Quick Thinks episode में share करते हैं, जब हम audience और उनकी needs को समझने में समय लगाते हैं, तो हम अपने messages को उनके लिए बेहतर तरीके से craft कर पाते हैं — और इस तरह ज़्यादा useful, engaging और successful बनते हैं।
