Can you remember what we ever did before the internet? As a communication tool the internet certainly takes some beating. Yes, the internet is open to abuse and contains millions and millions of pages that can really only be described as rubbish. However, as a way in which to communicate, source products and services and make purchases, organise you finances and stay in touch with family and friends, the internet has certainly seen the way in which we communicate changed beyond belief.

However, for businesses, the internet also brings with it its own problems with staff using work time in which to surf the net. So whilst the internet is great for many things it is not necessarily the best way for businesses to communicate.

There are however a couple of alternatives for communication that many modern businesses are now embracing to stay in touch with staff and get around the issue of lack of communication.

The first of these are modern intranet sites which can provide an extremely useful communication tool. Traditionally these have been pretty boring sites which were usually controlled exclusively by management with no real input from staff. This perception of the intranet site is now changing with content often updated and managed by the workforce themselves. This allows for an honest and frank exchange of views and news which many forward thinking companies are encouraging.

From information about staff, about the company, product and service updates to general information about team night outs and social activities the intranet site is a highly effective and successful way to communicate with staff.

Another way in which companies are embracing communication is by providing staff and particularly those who work on a large site with two way radios. Two Way Radio is a system that benefits from instant communication over a wide area without the call charges and network coverage problems that are often associated with cell phone technology.

2 Way Radios mean lone workers have a friendly voice at the end of the handset and therefore safety as well as communication is enhanced.

For businesses ranging from schools and college to factories and sports stadiums, two way radios are a great way for workers to stay in touch for a fraction of the cost of other forms of mobile communication.

Modern two way radios are also robust, portable and give companies a fail safe way for workers to communicate either at their premises or even when employees are working offsite. An example of this is how schools are using handheld radios not only on campus but also when taking students on field trips. This means their children are kept safe and secure at all times for minimal amounts. At a time where the safety and welfare of our children is never far from the news, this is great news for schools, nurseries and colleges.

Communication tools like intranet sites and 2 way radio do not have to cost the earth and yet the benefits they can bring to a business are substantial. If you want your business to be the best it can be, investing in technology could be just what you need so to avoid that dreaded communication breakdown.

If there’s one skillset that can help you position yourself for career success, it’s presentation skills. That’s because in today’s highly competitive workplace, it’s not enough just to be competent – you need to be seen to be competent. And the best way to do that is to present as often as you reasonably can to as many appropriate audiences as possible. To do this successfully, of course, your presentation skills must be at least better than average.

Have you ever noticed that when some people speak up at a meeting, or in another group conversation setting, everyone listens – while others make almost no impact? Think of someone in your organization who always commands attention, whose views are always respected. Now isn’t it true that that person possesses good presentation skills?

Now think of someone whose ideas tend to be ignored, who almost seems not to have spoken at all. I’m willing to bet that person’s presentation skills are at the opposite end of the competency level – am I right?

I once knew an engineer with a brilliant mind. He had been with his company for many years, and had played an important part in designing innovative new products. But he never progressed into the senior management ranks to which he aspired, and I’m convinced that was largely because he regularly put people to sleep making his presentations! The powers that be never really understood how brilliant he was, because their eyes glazed over before he was halfway through his story. What a shame – what a waste.

Now here’s the big question. Where do your presentation skills fall on the scale of excellent to poor? Do you speak up with confidence at meetings? When you’re asked for your opinion, can you give it without mumbling and stumbling your way through it? Do people pay attention when you speak?

In my presentation skills workshops, I always tell people this big secret: if you present well, people think you do everything well! If that’s true (and my experience tells me it is), then think what improving your presentation skills can do for your career!

If you’ve come up with an idea for process improvement, for example, try to arrange to be the person who presents it to the appropriate individuals. Make sure you prepare your message well, practice your presentation until you could do it if you were suddenly awakened at 3 a.m. Present your ideas competently and confidently. The interesting thing is that they won’t just notice you did a great presentation, they’ll see how valuable an employee you are to have come up with such a brilliant idea!

If you want to improve your job performance and your career prospects at the same time, work on your presentation skills.
