  7 C’s of Communicating:
  
  

  1. Clear

  #Ensure that your messages are clear, so that they are effective.
  
  

  1. Concise

  #Trough brevity, there’s clarity; less is more. Speak through the words that your intended audience is comfortable with, no more or less than absolutely necessary.
  #Know the language familiar to your audience.
  #Eliminate buzzwords.
  

  1. Concrete

  #You have a choice in your writing to use concrete (specific) or abstract (vague) words. While each has a place in business writing, concrete terms are typically more
  accurate and believable.
  

  1. Correct

  #Accurate and correct content ranges in characteristics from the value of comprehensiveness of expertise shared on any given subject, to spelling, grammar, punctuation and
  format.
  

  1. Coherent

  #Messages must make sense. They must be digestible. They must connect with those who come into contact with them. A message’s flow and processing should be seamless.
  

  1. Complete

  #Information must be complete and definitive, ensuring that more questions are answered than raised.
  

  1. Courteous

  #Establishing goodwill is as much a function of delivery as it is format.
  #Ensure that messages and stories are thoughtful and worthy of the intelligence and emotions of those whom we’re trying to reach.
