Ethical communication builds trust, while
unethical communication abuses or damages it.

business writing approach known as
3x3 process:

2. Writing
3. Revising
4. Proofreading
5. Evaluating
Define Audience
Plan Message
Draft Message
Revise for Content, Style, &
Correctness
Read, edit, re-read, edit again
Check for grammar, punctuation,
spelling, & word usage
Did you achieve communicating
your message?
15. 1. Mind Mapping

b. Take 10 minutes and map any associations,
thoughts, feelings, or anything else that comes to
mind
2. List of 20
a. Come up with a list of 20 options or new ideas
3. The Devils Advocate
a. Think beyond your own ideas and recognize
potential problems or opportunities
17. We all do it!
Email, Texting, Instant Messenger (IM), Blackberry Messenger
(BBM), Facetime, Skype
Step 1: Determine the appropriate method for message
Text to set up a call, do not text important details or entire
conversations
Avoid slang abbreviations (LOL, OMG) or emoticons
Stop and think about the paper trail and confidentiality
18. Step 2: Draft your message
Lost in translation?? Think about the tone of your message
Consider the context of your message
Check for grammar and spelling. It is easy to quickly send a
message and have an auto-correct mistake
Step 3: Follow up to your message
If a phone call or video chat, follow up with an email to
capture main points
If texting or IM’ing about a meeting, schedule the meeting
on the calendar
19. How do you communicate positive or negative
messages?
Determine the best method to communicate
Don’t hide the main message in fluff,
especially a negative message
Provide details and explanation, but only
what is relevant to the message
20. Delivering Positive Messages
◦ Be polite
◦ Provide information, as needed
◦ Express appreciation
◦ Make the message easy to respond to
Delivering Negative Messages
◦ Cushion the bad news
◦ Be empathetic
◦ Provide reasons
◦ Avoid negative words
◦ Stay professional
21. “Focus on how to get your message over to the audience clearly
and concisely” (Bratram, 2014).
What is the purpose?
Who is the audience?
Prepare tools and aids
Organize slides and talking points in a logical and easy to follow
structure
Provide strong examples to support and clarify ideas
Be conscious of time and engage with the audience
End with a highlight of the key take away points
Provide next steps
22. How to Handle the Public Speaking Jitters
Practice and feel comfortable with what you are talking about
Don’t expect perfection and roll with the mistakes…we all make
them
Accept that its normal to be nervous and embrace it
Gain experience by participating in clubs like Toastmasters
Pace yourself and slow down–you are speaking faster than you
think
Show energy but be professional by speaking at a brisk pace that
is understandable, smiling, and varying tone, pitch, and volume
23. Business Report
Convey information from one person, group, or
company to another and include facts, figures, and
information pertaining to business matters.

Informational Reports
Research Reports
Financial Reports

to initiate a discussion. One of the most effective
ways to get business and continue growth.
