Meetings are a necessary evil of any company or corporation. However, when the meeting is over, the messages that come out of them are often lost in the everyday hustle and bustle of a busy workplace.

Good businesses learn to evolve, not just in the way they do things but, just as importantly, in the way they communicate, both with their client base as well as their internal teams. This ability to adapt becomes even more crucial as people move into new roles, or teams change. Managing the way communication is handled is vital to ensure smooth transitions and successful successions.

When people think of communication, they’re usually thinking about words – emails, texts, reports, letters, memos. There’s also verbal communications – phone calls, meetings, face-to-face chats, even gossip.

Language is ever evolving, and so should our communications. If I was ‘sick’ in 2000, I had a day off work, but today if I say “I’m sick”, I would be letting the world know how good I really am.
