When You Speak, Do Others Listen?

Whether you communicate informally in meetings, or you stand up to make important presentations, when you speak, do others listen? If you are like most executives your answer is probably, “It depends.” So how do you get others to listen to you more often? How do you get your peers, your employees, your boss and even prospects engaged and excited about your ideas and proposals? The answer is to follow some of the same techniques that other well-schooled executives have learned about coming across confident, persuasive and engaging in almost any communications situation. In this session, we will share the four concepts that have set the great communicators apart from the rest of us.  And if time allows, we’ll add in two bonus tips.

When you leave this session you will have learned:

• Why focusing on positions can weaken your ability to get others approvals
• How to make it easier for people to be ready for your message
• One strategy you can use to avoid information overload
• How to make your message so memorable that it sticks for not just hours, but months, even years.
• And two more bonus tips!
