Business jargon is somewhat incomprehensible but always dehumanizing, demoralizing and demotivating. In offices all across the United States, we hear these phrases uttered at a constant pace. They make employees feel less than human and like a replaceable part in the massive corporate machine. However, it is simple enough to rehumanize that dehumanizing business jargon. . .

It’s easy to see how a free tool that connects you to your students can be helpful. But Google+ is not something you simply pick up and assume everyone knows how to use.

Storytelling is one of the most overused and underused techniques at the same time. In this post, we are revealing what storytelling does to our brains.
Bovee & Thill's Online Business Communication Magazines's insight:
We all enjoy a good story, whether it’s a novel, a movie, or simply something one of our friends is explaining to us that they’ve experienced. But why do we feel so much more engaged when we hear a narrative about events? It’s in fact quite simple. If we listen to a powerpoint presentation with boring bullet points, a certain part in the brain gets activated. Scientists call this Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area. Overall, it hits our language processing parts in the brain, where we decode words into meaning. And that’s it, nothing else happens. When we are being told a story though, things change dramatically found researchers in Spain. Not only are the language processing parts in our brain activated, but any other area in our brain, that we would use when experiencing the events of the story are too. . . Note: Bovee & Thill are the only business communication textbook authors to explain how to build reader interest with storytelling techniques. A chart explains the six types of storytelling detail and an illustration demonstrates storytelling on Paragonia's website. The discussion of storytelling includes writing for electronic media and oral presentations.
