Months of Project work, DOWN THE DRAIN?

KT was elated with the 50% completion of Project Infilterate, which he spent months working on. The analysis was well thought out and very comprehensive. Now KT had to face what he considered a big challenge, communicate his ideas to management. He was not exactly shy or nervous about speaking in public but he sometimes had difficulty expressing himself or being understood. On D day, he did his best but the project ideas could not be easily understood. Therefore, the decision was made. TJ became the project lead and KT, his helper. The project was re-started and tasked to be 70% complete in 1 month. Since KT already did pretty good but unknown work, this was not a long shot. The work was done in 2weeks and it became a Project Infilterate derivative. Most of the ideas incorporated came from the work KT had done, which no one remembered as much as KT himself. TJ on the other hand became the new face of Project Infilterate. Many times, business professionals underestimate the power of expression, the ability to effectively acquaint other potential investors with their work, project or ideas. As a result, game changing ideas die. I have come to realize that expression is not all about enunciation and vocabulary. It is simply how well you connect with your audience. It is being in command of the message you are trying to convey. Some notable speakers among 2013 10 best speakers in the world are Nelson Mandela and Malaya Yousafazi. Both from non-English speaking countries, yet able to connect with their audiences worldwide. Also, named amongst the best are Dick Costolo [Twitter CEO],Blake Mycoskie [TOMS Founder]and Alan Mullay who have been successful in communicating business ideas and strategies. P.S. This blog is not another "Effective Communication" blog. It is simply a way to bring real life experiences to shed light on "The Power of Expression".
