Personal Branding is not just about getting thousands of followers or blue tick verification on your social media, it is about reaching the Right People @ Right Place @ Right Time.
I am reading multiple books right now and listening to multiple audio books. In one of them I read about the ERO equation. Event + Response = Outcome.
The ERO equation is perfectly apt with the Communication scenario. The way we respond to someone will determine whether we will be able to establish a strong relationship with that person or not. So, before you respond to someone, please be careful.
You may feel that what has “Driving a Car” to do with Communication?
We constantly read or hear from webinars that it is extremely crucial to take care before we respond to someone. One may feel that how to take care of so many things in day-to-day communication.
Remember when you were learning to drive the car. Your trainer might have told you the names of several parts of the car – Accelerator, Brake, Clutch, Gearbox, Steering, Rear view mirrors and so on. Wasn’t that too overwhelming to remember when you started? But today you can drive a car without thinking about any parts. Your brain and body do it automatically without even your conscious effort.
Same thing can be achieved with almost anything and Communication is no exception.
