A new year is upon us. There’s no time like the present to work on keeping the resolutions you just made. But I’m here to help you with some new professional ones. In particular, your resolutions to help you become the best communicator you can be. So, let’s get started.
First, resolve to be open. Resolve that you are open to trying new things when it comes to how you communicate. Be open to trying new and different ways to communicate. This may mean that you’ll try marketing your practice, department or firm for the first time, or reallocating your marketing budget to account for the growth in popularity of online news. You can also be open in how you are communicating, for example meeting face-to-face with colleagues, clients, reporters and community leaders rather than just over the phone or through email. This will deepen your relationships and engender more trust.
