How To Be Concise

Saying more with less is not simply a writing technique. It often requires you to understand the psychological reasons you are including too much information in the first place. This video examines three common causes of overlong communication: wanting others to appreciate how much work you have done, being unclear about what the recipient actually needs, and convincing yourself that you do not have time to make the message shorter. You will learn why ‘slow is fast’ when a little more thought upfront can prevent follow-up emails, phone calls and misunderstandings later. The video encourages you to clarify what the other person needs to know and question the purpose of every sentence. Information that does not serve the message can be removed, placed in an attachment or saved for another conversation, leaving the recipient with a simpler and more useful communication.
