Business, Life, & Coffee

Do you have trouble finishing books? Have you ever started reading one that you hoped could help your career but ended up quitting halfway through?

We’re all aware that good, quality books can help us improve our career. By reading field-specific titles, management guides, and books about social relationships, we can make the next step and land the job of our dreams.

However, it’s difficult to maintain the motivation to read a book even when we know it can be very useful for our development. You can even enjoy reading and still have trouble finishing books. All that it takes is that we prioritize other activities over reading and we’re bound to end up with a stacked shelf of unfinished reads.

That is why we’ve dedicated this episode to business book clubs. We’re going to discuss exactly how and why are they beneficial for the development of young professionals.

But that’s not all! This week we have a special announcement!

We’re officially starting the “BLC Biz Book Club”! (bit.ly/bbcdale) It’s a book club for all the listeners of our podcast and an opportunity for us to mingle and get to know each other while unpacking amazing books! The first book that we’re going to go through and discuss is Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends & Influence People”.

We’re all well aware that good communication is crucial for a successful business. But what are some of the negative impacts of poor communication in the workplace?

According to a study done in 2018 by the Economist Intelligence Unit, poor communication is directly preventing business growth by leading to delays or failures to complete projects, low morale, missed performance goals, increased stress and lost sales. This podcast episode is all about communication in the workplace and we’ll go over some of the best ways to improve your communication skills.

Some of the sings which suggest that a company has issues with poor communication are unclear instructions from supervisors and having ineffective, pointless meetings. This also shows that the negative impacts of poor communication are more obvious when the leadership portion of the company is the one that’s causing it.

In order to be a good leader, you need to follow certain guidelines for effective communication. Let’s dive straight into the episode and check out some of the top tips for being a better communicator at work!

Our book of the week is titled "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It is a timeless classic that will help you get the job you want, improve the one you have and simply take any situation and make it work for you!
