Communication Etiquette the Way God Intended

Communication is the key to a good or a bad relationship. We spend 70% of our waking hours in communication with others. God intended for us to be respectful of one-another. Are we? As a society we interact with people all day long, but are we using the proper body language? “It’s not as much what you say that counts, it is what you don’t say.” God gave us two ears and one mouth, let us all dive into the pool of respecting one another through our communication habits and maybe change a few.

UNLOCK Your Potential For Influence

As a Christian woman in media, God has given you a platform that influences culture in some way and you work hard to spread your message and build your following. So how are you standing out to the people you most want to serve? When they land on your website, consume your content, hear you speak or have a conversation with you, do they feel like you’re exactly who they’ve been looking for?
If not, you have a marketing problem because you have a branding problem. It’s time to package and position your expertise with clarity, confidence, conviction, and credibility. When done properly, it’s a total game-changer! Marketing is simpler, easier, and way more fun and effective.
