Unlocking Business Growth Through Better Communication

Have you ever stopped to think if your business is being held back by how you communicate—or don’t? Maybe you’ve hesitated in key moments, unsure of what to say. Or perhaps you’ve thought, “Nobody wants to hear what I have to say.” If so, you’re not alone. Many of us underestimate the power of our own voices, allowing missed opportunities to slip through our fingers.

But here’s a truth that could transform your approach to communication: The information you have can help someone else. This simple yet powerful realisation can be a game-changer for you and your business.

Overcoming the Fear of Communication

Let’s face it—communication can feel like standing in front of a crocodile 🐊. Public speaking, networking, even pitching an idea can feel terrifying. In fact, research suggests that many people fear speaking in public more than death itself.

I get it. I used to be one of those people. Talking in front of a group or even initiating conversations was a daunting task for me. But here’s the good news: communication is a skill, not a talent. It can be learned, practised, and improved over time.

Just like you can learn an accent, you can also learn to communicate in ways that resonate with your audience. And with consistent practice, you’ll find it easier and less intimidating.

The Power of a Great Introduction

When someone asks, “What do you do?” how do you respond?

If your answer is as generic as, “I’m a service provider,” you’re missing an opportunity to connect. Instead, lead with your why. For instance:
“I help people live more independently and achieve their personal goals through tailored support services.”

This simple shift sparks curiosity, invites follow-up questions, and allows you to share your passion. It transforms a mundane introduction into a conversation starter.

Why Communication is Crucial for Success

You could be the best at what you do—a 10/10 in your field—but if your communication is a 3/10, you’re losing out. Someone who’s average at their job but excellent at communicating will win more referrals, clients, and partnerships.

Think about it: Why do we remember a song more than a page in a book? It’s because songs have melody, rhythm, and cadence—elements that make them memorable. Your communication should do the same.

When you practice using your voice effectively—modulating tone, pacing your delivery, and adding energy to your words—you’ll find people listening more intently.

Practicing Communication: The Game Changer

The key to improving communication lies in consistent practice. Whether it’s public speaking, one-on-one conversations, or writing, the more you practice, the easier it becomes.

Here are a few tips to refine your communication:

1. Structure Your Responses: Share what you do, how you do it, and most importantly, why you do it.

2. Pay Attention to Tonality: Use changes in pitch and tone to emphasise key points.

3. Focus on Your Audience: Speak in a way that resonates with the people you’re trying to connect with.

My Journey and Why Communication Matters to Me

I got into business coaching to help people—specifically to help those who help others. I’ve had the privilege of working with businesses to achieve financial success, from securing properties to enjoying dream holidays.

But my greatest reward comes from empowering people to help others. That’s why I’ve made communication a cornerstone of what I do. By teaching businesses to communicate effectively, I’ve seen them attract more clients, build stronger relationships, and make a bigger impact.

Take the Next Step

If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this, it’s this: Your voice matters. The way you communicate can be the difference between staying stagnant and unlocking your business’s full potential.

Action Step: This week, practice sharing your why. Whether it’s at a networking event, with a colleague, or even in the mirror, refine your message and pay attention to how it resonates.
