Matthew Encina's simple formula for all client communication:
- Be clear - Give context.
- Agree on Expectations.
- Be Transparent.
- Always deliver.
Delivery & Tone - It's not just what you say, but how you say it:
- Keep your emotion out of it. Focus on how you'll get there vs. the work it means for you.
- Always use a “helpful” mindset.
- Use “us / we" vs “you” (you're not blaming, your collaborating)
- Say it with a Smile.
