Eloquence

"One Vodka Martini. Shaken, not Stirred."

I am sure the famous catchphrase - "Shaken. Not Stirred." - would resonate with all Bond Fans. And for those of you who are uninitiated in the world of 007, the super British agent has opened up many opportunities and created stellar impressions with his exquisite choice of ordinary words. 

If there is one thing which is striking about Bond, it's his eloquence !

While 'most' of us aren't James Bond, being eloquent is usually and extremely important in our business.

Good communication skills help us convey our thoughts and ideas. Eloquence helps you drive home your point. Eloquence gets you the required attention in an age where people are short of time. This attention helps you do your business effectively. And very often if you need to persuade people, eloquence should be the weapon in your shining armor.

Eloquence is that blockbuster sixer which can win you the match. Use it effectively.

Be Eloquent.
