Yes, redux. (As a reminder, the definition of redux is “brought back, restored”!)
TNT Communication Coaching is back!
But where were we??
As with so many other activities, the pandemic years forced us to take a hiatus. Large group meetings with people walking up and down to the podium and speaking to an audience certainly was not going to fly, and one on one training sessions were definitely out of the question. So, we put the work and the website on ice.
Now the new reality of personal interaction and communication in post-pandemic society is becoming clear. For young people, years of semi-isolation and distant interactions through text and other platforms has limited good communication experience. The workplace—once a source of building connections and relationships—has become almost totally virtual. Remote is….remote.
But the truth is, as a K-12 Dive journalist summarized so accurately: “Good oral communication is what wins elections, earns top spots at corporations, and separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. Even the ideas of the smartest person alive won’t receive the recognition they deserve unless communicated effectively.”
So TNT Communication Coaching is back, and just in time! Our work is so necessary to offset the impact of the pandemic years, and the ever-present, growing reliance on social media for interaction. The mission remains the same – to help people understand and use the power of in-person communication in every aspect of life: at play, in school, and at work.
The biggest change is the shift “TNT Communication Training” to “TNT Communication Coaching”. I have been a coach (sports, life, etc.) on and off throughout my life, so “coaching” captures the style of the TNT Communication instruction more accurately. We have updated the website and expanded the offerings, but overall the focus is still be on helping individuals of all ages stand out from the crowd.
Finally, I found it so interesting to spend time with my blogs from 2016-2017. First off, it seems like yesterday! Secondly, the concepts I captured at that time – the intersection of communication and manners, presenting oneself effectively from the classroom to the interview to the board room – are as important today as they were then.
More than important – imperative!
