4 Qualities of an Influential Communicator Part 1

Tangible Takeaways:The goal is to project the image that you want to project.Have a point, and stick to it! You can do this by deciding your point in advance and sharing this upfront. People need to receive information with the point first, and details after, not the other way around.Avoid data dumping! We can think this boosts your credentials, but in reality, people can only take in so much information at once. Keep it simple.Make sure your message is relevant to your audience, and be wary of the curse of knowledge. Instead of shutting down new ideas, make sure that you are open. Even if you tried that idea before, give it 5 minutes of consideration and allow brainstorming to happen.Make sure expectations are clear, not unspoken, by asking, “What does ‘done’ look like to you?”State the “why” up front! Make sure everyone on your team understands the why behind projects and tasks so they’ll be more motivated to do them.<br /> About me:<br />Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world’s most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.
