Positive Verbal Communication (Check out our blog for more tips!)

During a normal business day, we have countless verbal interactions that we take for granted. But the simplest communication should not be overlooked. The language you incorporate in your business relationships can have a tremendous impact on your success. Well-handled verbal responses strengthen your visibility in the workplace and showcase your upper-management potential.

Someone with a high verbal IQ speaks effectively with fluency and flexibility. Having control of your words, using accurate language, and delivering your speeches with confidence all contribute to an overall strong verbal IQ.

Here are a few tips on projecting a positive verbal IQ:

1. Anticipate what is most likely to happen in your encounters with people and prepare possible scenarios.
2. Avoid talking too much.
3. Concentrate on solutions rather than on problems.
4. Be honest and sincere.
5. Think before you react.

How you phrase your words is a crucial aspect of business relationships. Therefore, take the time to carefully craft your language.
