The True Meaning of Communication
Steps to Effective communication
Hijack – Grab the attention of the listener and silence what is going on in their head so that they pay attention to you.
Connect – Try to connect with the listener. The mid-brain looks for friendliness, status, and connection. By appealing to these, listeners will feel more inclined to listen.
Details – To communicate effectively, the brain should be silenced to create a connection. It will then be able to receive and process information from the speaker.
The 4 types of Communicators
What – The ‘what’ communicator usually delivers a more analytical presentation and provides a lot of data and details. These communicators are generally scientists, engineers, and technology-oriented persons.
Why – The ‘why’ communicator usually needs to know why they are telling somebody about wherever the topic may be.
How- The ‘how’ communicator is usually the person that seeks to implement something and has a plan.
Who – The ‘who’ communicator likes to know who their audience is; this helps them to focus on questions such as, who is the ideal client? and to whom does this message matter?
Why write a book
Practical Tips To Tip A Meeting In Your Favour
1) Frame Yourself as the Solution
Frame yourself as the solution to your potential client or partner’s problems and establish your authority. Aurora explains that the best way is to write and publish a book and take it a step further by sending each person an autographed copy of the book before meeting with them.
2) Do not Focus on You
Aurora highlights that we tend to focus on what we have to offer in meetings but, it would be beneficial to allow your authority to speak for itself. She encourages us to use more time to listen generously and generate ideas for the other person and their additional needs.
3) Practice
She encourages us to practice and know our content, that if a meeting should have a thirty-minute time stamp, you can deliver your content in a timely, efficient manner and use the bulk of the time to find out more about the client’s needs.
4) Wrap up with a next step
Aurora explains that when meetings end, there should be an action plan or follow-up activity. She says it is good to do so with an email, a follow-up call, or a plan of action for the next meeting.
“You need to have a message and a purpose.”
“The root word of authority is author.”
“The author of the book is the person whose stories, wisdom, and expertise it is.”
