Communication Synergies
Verbal skills usually develop early in life as our parents and other family members coax us to smile, speak, or behave in certain ways
Patterns of speech, intonations and inflections, and facial expressions are learned during these as well as other interactions and become innate parts of our communication repertoire
Communication Impact
The primary reason is that verbal and written communications are much more differentiated than we often realize
Verbal Communication
-
Solid eye contact, enthusiastic hand gestures, smiling on a regular basis, and nodding one's head occasionally suggest confidence in and enthusiasm for the message communicated
Our use of voice and movement is just as important as body language and may operate in a complementary fashion
-
Presenting to Audiences
-
Audiences have personalities and frequent changes in mood. Presenters need to be in tune with their joint body language and modify the use of voice, movement, and visual material accordingly
Relationship Building
Our conversations at work have the benefit of mirroring the ways in which we communicate naturally throughout our lives
many of the characteristics that have made us effective in personal relationships carry over to these exchanges.
Written Communications
-
Regardless of your proclivities, organizing your thinking before putting pen to paper requires considerably more time and effort than arranging your thoughts for a speaking engagement covering the same material

Closing Remarks
Providing scientific opinions in courts of law requires many of the same verbal and written tactics described previously with few modifications
deposition is a written record of your verbal statements and another instance when you will have to deal with contrasting requirements for effective verbal and written communications
Continuous Improvement
-
use of visual materials should be designed to complement major points rather than direct attention away from presenters
