Habits Of Power Communicators
We're told time and time again that if we want to be successful in something, we should look for a proven success model that fits our goals and copy it.
By: Julissa Fernandez
Modeling success is like following a baking recipe. If you put in all the right ingredients, and bake at the right temperature, you will get the perfect cake.
This applies to achieving effective, powerful, captivating communication.
If you want to captivate, motivate, lead, inspire, or sell by communicating effectively, model the pros and their habits.
Power Communicators have the following 3 habits in common:
1. They make eye contact.
2. They don't read off notes.
3. They prepare to be prepared.
4. The speak from the heart.
One of the best examples of this is former mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani.
He gained the trust he wanted because he was in the habit of looking people in the eye whether it was a private, executive meeting or public, broadcasted event. Giuliani was known for purposely doing this because he knew there was much more to achieve by gaining the confidence of his constituents and staff. He was also known to prepare for a February budget meeting, the previous October. For months he would gather and study all necessary material so that when his moment came to ask, propose and sell a plan, he wouldn't have to do it by reading off his notes but by presenting his case in simple, well understood terms and always positioning himself as someone who was doing, asking and acting for the benefit of his city.
Other examples of Power Communicators include Bill Clinton, and the late Ronald Reagan.
Both faced difficult moments and situations, yet were able to leave a legacy of leadership by practicing the common habits of Powerful Communicators.
So if you are looking to make strides in your field start putting these habits into practice and you will see how life changing being a Power Communicator can be.
