Showing results for "Message Received" in Business & Careers

In this widely anticipated and deeply researched book, Dr. Donohue, a victim of workplace stress herself, lays out a seven-step solution to give you the tools you need to make communication a cure for workplace stress, not a cause - even (especially) when you're working with a generationally diverse team.

Message Received is a Syntax podcast delving into strategic communications and examining how the best ideas take shape. Each episode explores how strategy, storytelling, and insight come together — and why some approaches work while others fall short. Join conversations with leaders, builders, and communicators who shape narratives that move organizations and who understand that what you say, when you say it, and how you say it matters.

George Bernard Shaw once famously said, "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." Although he died in 1950, Shaw's words live on, especially in the business world. Far too many executives, salespeople, consultants, and even rank-and-file employees suck at communicating. Some think that they're speaking and writing effectively when they drop ostensibly sophisticated terms like paradigm shift, synergy, net-net, form factor, and optics. Others think that they're being clever.
