On Getting What You Set Out to Accomplish with Your Team:
The Communication Edition
✨Working with Leadership and Executives daily, one skill that everyone benefits from focusing on is Communication.
By increasing self-awareness, most can drill to this singular area, identify how it is inhibiting the full potential of their own, their teams, their companies, their relationships.
How do you learn though after you already have your 'style' or what you perceive to be your 'winning formula'?
✨Leverage our easy to use AIDE process.
For today's conversation, we will discover how implementing our AIDE approach can affect your Communication Impact.
👉Grab a notebook and your pen!
🎯A is Awareness: Has someone mentioned or have you noticed that some of your messages, spoken, digital, from a stage or a screen, are not having quite the impact you assumed you would make?
Has any hinted that your tone might be off either in written word or in conversations?
Have you delivered what you thought was a clear set of actions, but found people asking for clarification, doing it wrong, or not following through at all?
👉Resist being discouraged or blaming others. This knowledge has now awakened you to an incredible awareness of opportunities you could be missing, challenges you are creating- or both!
🎯I is Intention: Take time to review the thoughts from your 'Awareness' phase and write down what you are willing to do to right the ship.
Include Time, Resources, Mentors, anything that helps you make a solid commitment before the next step.
🎯D is Discovery: Suit up! This one takes an extra dose of humility + courage.
Get the data and the full picture together. Ask others what they are experiencing. Listen to others. Above, below, around you.
Now, start to map out how significant your Communication Gapmay have been in keeping you off track. Time, Dollars, Results, People, Sales, Earnings...Include everything.
This list might be daunting or simple. It's important either way.
Write down where you should be and begin the Discovery how you will pivot and get on a smoother track to success.
🎯E is Expectations: These are for yourself, not others yet. Define the true baseline of where you are now with your Communication Effectiveness across all people and platforms currently, and where you intend to be.
⌚Add in When. A timeline is important. Set intermediate check-ins and milestones to keep you moving forward swiftly.
📚We can't forget How. What tools, coaching, resources do you need to complete this important task of impacting others powerfully with clarity?
