This episode is part 6 of the CALM series that David has put together to help you become an effective leader. For today´s episode, the focus is once again on communication. He explains why approaching public speaking as a service you are doing for others is a powerful way to share your message, touch people on an emotional level and create the desire to act. Turning your message into a gift that benefits your audience and motivates them to work more closely with you to achieve business and other goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When you communicate effectively, people learn from you and achieve a better state.
  • The meaning of your communication is the response that you get.
  • Be creative in how you communicate.
  • You only need to reach one person to make a lasting difference.
  • When you try to move people emotionally, prepare and package your message(gift) carefully and deliver it in a way that empowers them.
  • Clearly articulate what your message is and explain how it benefits them.
  • Empower people by making your presentation about them. For example, use the word you instead of I.
  • Get people to engage in your presentation physically, e.g., by asking a raise your hand style question. David explains why and how during the episode.
  • Ask open questions, but use “what´s the reason” instead of the word “why”.
  • Great leaders create more leaders.

BEST MOMENTS‘Communication has a purpose, it creates desire, and it changes state.’‘What actions would you like people to take from your talk.’‘A really compelling why can get people's attention and galvanise commitment. It can be the beginning of how you move people emotionally.’‘Cover all senses in the words that you use’

ABOUT THE SHOWPeople with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
