Find out how other people see you as a communicator
Now, for the first time, you can discover exactly what other people think of you as a face-to-face communicator by taking advantage of our free Talk Test service. Simple to set up, but it could be the start of something big.
Two-way communication is fundamental to just about everything important thing we do in life and is at the heart of every important relationship we have - at home and at work. That's why being able to communicate effectively is rightly called the number one skill. The more effective you are at understanding other people and the more effective you are at having other people understand you, the more you can get out of life - and the more you can put in.
The best starting point for self-improvement to acquire an accurate and objective picture of your current communication profile. What are your natural strengths? What are your weaknesses? The problem is, we are extremely poor at accurate self-assessment. In fact, it's impossible to imagine how others see you, with any degree of accuracy. The only way to get an truthful picture to ask a group of people who know you well for their opinions. And that's exactly what the Talk Test enables you to do.
Here's how the fully automatic 4-step process works:
- Enter the email addresses of a group of people (respondents) whose opinions you value.
- Complete an on-screen questionnaire about your characteristics as a communicator.
- We invite your respondents to complete the same questionnaire enabling them to also assess your traits as a communicator. (We assure them that that the details of their submissions will remain 100% anonymous.)
- We collect the data from the completed questionnaires and prepare a confidential feedback report for you to look at on the web.
The Talk Test feedback report shows the average scores returned by your respondents. By looking a series of simple graphs, you will discover how other people assess you as a communicator. You can also compare their views with your own self-evaluation. Do people see you differently from how you see yourself? That's a very useful thing to know.
Your feedback report provides links to relevant articles in the TalkWorks Guide. Reading these will provide you with a set of powerful but practical ideas on how to improve the quality of all your conversations - even the most challenging or sensitive.
