What is your preferred method of communication and why?

<p>Not too long ago, this would have been a very simple question. You could either call someone on their landline or email them. The most complicated decision was whether or not to leave a voicemail.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now you can still email or call. My guest, organizational specialist Glady Baradaran, has strong feelings about that:</p> <p> </p> <p>“If you want to reach me, text me, Facebook message me, WhatsApp me, email me, maybe send me a voice [message]. If you can’t, do a morse code, then you do those smoke signals, and then you call me.”</p> <p> </p> <p>There are so many different means of communication now and how you organize them greatly impacts how you spend your time and manage your personal and professional relationships.</p> <p> </p> <p>My own secret is that I have my alerts set in different ring tones so that I know from across the room if it’s a family member, friend or client.</p> <p> </p> <p>My panel of guests on this edition of Quick Hits — which also includes Genius Marketing founder Emma Humphrey and business consultant Kevin Wash — each have different approaches to their daily communication.</p> <p> </p> <p>I hope you find them thought provoking and helpful.</p> <p> </p> <p>What are your pet peeves about getting in touch with people?</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists:</p> <p>Emma Humphrey: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-humphrey-brand-marketing-founder-speaker/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-humphrey-brand-marketing-founder-speaker/</a></p> <p>Kevin Wash: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-wash-23b90915/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-wash-23b90915/</a></p> <p>Glady Baradaran: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/glady-baradaran-msc-od-6238071a/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/glady-baradaran-msc-od-6238071a/</a></p> <p>Dr Robyn Odegaard: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Want a summary of the Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedIn pages of each of th
