Drop the jargon: Effective communication is very simple and hard-hitting. Breaking down concepts and ideas into simpler terms showcases your understanding on the matter and also conveys the message clearly and effectively.

Learn what other executives value: Effective Communication skills merely does not employ your communication capabilities, but rather also includes your listening skills and how well you are able to understand and grasp what others have to say.

Consider tone and cadence: More than what you have to convey, how you convey the message matters more. Understand the tone and cadence of the audience you’re dealing with and thus communicate accordingly.

Know your audience and keep it simple: As a C-Level Executive, you’re the face of the organization. What you say or how you act is the representation of your organizations’ values and work structure, hence identify and understand your audience and communicate effectively with minimal deliberations and confusions.
