"The two words information and communication are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through." - Sydney Harris

Many people find themselves caught in the trap of ineffective business communication – needless memos, meetings, and conference calls that lead to zero strategic decisions. Effective business communication ignores the urge to simply transmit information; instead, it transforms knowledge and data into actionable interchanges. Business communication also requires a professional and succinct tone. Business people are busy; they read what they need to and move on.  

With these things in mind, I carefully structure all business communications to reflect my professional demeanor and to communicate the actionable information I intend. I utilize different types of media to communicate different messages – slides to present strategies, memos to relay pertinent information to a group, phone calls to  connect one-on-one, etc.  I also format the information I am presenting with the audience in mind, attempting to “get through” rather than simply “give out.” The projects below demonstrate my ability to use these diverse media types as well as communicate professionally in a business environment.
