ABSTRACT

Asking questions helps students and professionals who are looking to enhance their communication skills, to learn the essentials of their profession in business setting. The answers are critical to their role as a successful modern communicator. This chapter gives a set of essential questions and answers for modern communicators to use and practice. These answers are the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), on the job and in the trenches. Learning the business, and really showing an interest in their company beyond their own responsibilities, leads to more opportunities and will make them stand out. The best communicators try to curtail their own communication to listen more to the people around them. Instead of focusing on their own points and getting their message across, they should practice less speaking and more listening with an acute ear. The knowledge they gather and what they have learned from listening will show in their own communication.
