Key Attributes to Skillfully Communicating Across All Platforms
A Conversation with Peggy Bud
The FENG Chicagoland Chapter is delighted to have our very good friend and business colleague, Peggy Bud (yes, the better half of Matt Bud, our organization’s global chairperson!), share with us her tips on how to get you message across to all you encounter in your networking events.
During this interactive session, Peggy will discuss the key attributes of effective communication. She will provide tips on how to create and deliver a clear, memorable message in all aspects of your business and personal lives.
In today’s COVID world, most of the time, we are communicating virtually. Her tips will highlight how to Up your Professional Image Virtually. She will include basic steps to delivering a memorable elevator pitch, telling a concise story, or conveying a winning sales pitch. It’s all about understanding the core skills required to be an effective communicator. This is essential for all your business development efforts, whether you are an entrepreneur looking to secure new clients or in transition looking for that next corporate opportunity (which may include buying ore starting your own business!).
