La storia di Benheart 🗝️

In today's fast-paced business world, the pressure to deliver is constant. Emails ping incessantly, meetings fill calendars, and impromptu conversations become the norm.  Yet, amidst this whirlwind, a crucial element often gets sidelined: preparation.  Think about it – wouldn't a perfectly executed presentation or a flawlessly delivered pitch be infinitely more effective than a last-minute scramble?

The truth is, effective communication in business is rarely spontaneous.  It's a carefully crafted strategy, and the cornerstone of that strategy is pre-communication planning.  Just as athletes train before a competition, successful business professionals invest time in readying themselves for critical communication moments.

The Power of Preparation in Action:

Consider the scenario: You have a critical meeting with a potential investor.  By investing time in pre-communication planning, you've:

Researched their investment portfolio: You can tailor your pitch to align with their specific interests.
Developed a clear, concise presentation: You highlight the problem your business solves and the value proposition.
Anticipated potential questions: You have well-rehearsed responses that address any investment concerns.
The result? A confident, compelling presentation that positions your business for success.

Investing in Pre-Communication Planning:

Pre-communication planning isn't just about efficiency; it's about maximizing impact and minimizing missteps.  By dedicating time to prepare, you'll project confidence, inspire trust, and ultimately achieve your communication goals.  Remember, in the business world, first impressions matter – so make yours count with the power of preparation.

There's this story about Father Frost and my two little friends from Russian. Darian and Maria.

"Father Frost" Russia

“Well, as I’m still a uni  student, doing things on the cheap is something I've had to learn over the last few years, and just the weekend before last, myself and my 2 best mates had a really wonderful day out that cost next to nothing.




It was a bank holiday weekend, and we really wanted to have a special day out, as the weather forecast was perfect, and we really needed to get away from our studies. 




To do anything in the city, especially during a holiday weekend, always costs a lot of money, and as we were flat broke,  we decided to look for somewhere to go outside of the city. One of the guys came up with the idea of riding our bikes to a very beautiful park and lake, about 15 km outside of the city. 




We all agreed it would be a great idea, and each chipped in some cash, so we could buy some nice food in the local supermarket, as there is a barbeque area in the park which is free to use.
It turned out to be a really wonderful and special day, and was as cheap as chips, as riding our bikes meant there was no transport cost, and entry to the park was actually free. I think in total we spent about 24 dollars on the food between the three of us, and it really goes to show that it’s still possible to have a really special day out that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
