How you can add real value to your business

One of the biggest challenges in business is how to create ‘value’.  Boyd Stough of Espy Revenue recently interviewed me about this issue for a new installment of his business podcasts.  In our conversation, we talked extensively about the fact that value for a business comes from all levels: Leadership, teams, client facing, and internal facing.  The problem for many people is that the true meaning of value is a mystery and the ways to create it are elusive.  I explain to Boyd that value is a combination of knowledge, communication strategy, and execution.  During the conversation we talk about The Speech Improvement Company’s perspective and coaching experience and how revenue growth is directly linked to a company’s investment in communication.

Real persuasion works differently. It doesn’t tell people what they want to hear.

How well do you communicate? For a brief self-assessment, ask yourself the following questions (and be honest!): Do you get along with all your coworkers, your boss, your direct reports? Is it easy to talk to them? Are you successful in working with any “challenging” coworkers (we all have one!)? Does everyone understand what you mean the first time? If you use AI to generate content, does following an AI script work well in conversation?
