The three core areas of business communication are meetings, presentations, and writing.

Many office workers complain that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/oliver-burkeman-s-blog\/2014\/may\/01\/meetings-soul-sucking-waste-time-you-thought\" target=\"_blank\">meetings are a waste of time<\/a>. An effective meeting is a chance to solve challenges and make decisions. Meeting participants report on their progress, listen to their colleagues, and walk away with highlights and key decisions in effective meetings. Meeting leaders hold their team accountable for progress, manage problems within the group, and delegate clear responsibilities with deadlines. Meeting skills workshops teach best practices and develop a common language among coworkers. Teams that listen to each other and engage in meetings are more likely to make the best decisions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_377\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-377\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-377\" src=\"http:\/\/momsnetwork.com\/workathomeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/keyboard-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"typing on keyboard\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"http:\/\/momsnetwork.com\/workathomeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/keyboard-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/momsnetwork.com\/workathomeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/keyboard.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Streamlining Office Communications<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Presentations: Presenters are responsible for delivering persuasive face-to-face messages to audiences internally, externally, and to executives.
