00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Way to go, guys. Way to go. Keep it

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,320
going. Good job, guys. All right, Paul, I

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,560
see you. Great job, guys.

4
00:00:20,264 --> 00:00:21,744
Hey there, it's Coach Curl here and

5
00:00:21,744 --> 00:00:23,864
welcome to the Today's Leader podcast,

6
00:00:23,864 --> 00:00:25,784
building tomorrow's best leaders

7
00:00:26,424 --> 00:00:28,344
today to in today's

8
00:00:28,504 --> 00:00:30,824
fast-paced world.

9
00:00:32,024 --> 00:00:33,944
It's really important that when we wanna

10
00:00:33,944 --> 00:00:36,664
deliver a message with impact,

11
00:00:36,984 --> 00:00:39,784
that we take the time to get the

12
00:00:39,784 --> 00:00:42,104
message that our people need.

13
00:00:42,824 --> 00:00:44,744
So whether it's about launching a vision,

14
00:00:44,744 --> 00:00:46,904
giving some feedback, or rallying your

15
00:00:46,904 --> 00:00:49,144
team, your words need to have

16
00:00:49,784 --> 00:00:52,424
clarity, purpose and influence.

17
00:00:53,784 --> 00:00:56,424
And that really is the art of

18
00:00:56,424 --> 00:00:58,704
crafting the message for

19
00:00:58,704 --> 00:01:01,344
maximum impact. So why does it matter?

20
00:01:02,264 --> 00:01:05,064
Leaders are communicators. Every message

21
00:01:05,264 --> 00:01:07,544
either builds clarity or creates

22
00:01:07,544 --> 00:01:10,104
confusion. Every message

23
00:01:10,944 --> 00:01:13,944
either builds clarity or creates

24
00:01:14,024 --> 00:01:16,504
confusion. Great

25
00:01:16,504 --> 00:01:18,904
message often inspires

26
00:01:18,984 --> 00:01:21,544
action. It drives alignment and

27
00:01:21,544 --> 00:01:24,184
builds trust. And when you

28
00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:26,504
master your message, you multiply your

29
00:01:26,504 --> 00:01:28,424
leadership effectiveness.

30
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:32,144
Multiply. So how do we do that?So

31
00:01:32,144 --> 00:01:34,384
here's four key principles. One is know

32
00:01:34,384 --> 00:01:37,384
your audience. Who are you speaking

33
00:01:37,384 --> 00:01:40,024
to?What do they care about?

34
00:01:40,584 --> 00:01:43,424
So you need to tailor the message to

35
00:01:43,464 --> 00:01:46,264
their needs, their concerns, their

36
00:01:46,264 --> 00:01:49,144
aspirations. You have to speak

37
00:01:49,464 --> 00:01:52,024
their language, and that's

38
00:01:52,024 --> 00:01:54,504
number one step. You have to know

39
00:01:54,744 --> 00:01:57,624
your audience. Step #2,

40
00:01:57,624 --> 00:01:59,984
be clear, not clever. It's not a.

41
00:02:00,584 --> 00:02:02,584
It's not a competition to show how many

42
00:02:02,584 --> 00:02:04,664
big words you may know. Say what you

43
00:02:04,664 --> 00:02:07,544
mean, but avoid jargon, fluffy

44
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:10,304
words, or vague generalities.

45
00:02:10,984 --> 00:02:13,144
Clarity builds trust.

46
00:02:13,864 --> 00:02:16,264
Confusion kills momentum.

47
00:02:17,185 --> 00:02:19,905
Say that again. Clarity builds

48
00:02:19,905 --> 00:02:21,985
trust. Confusion

49
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:23,745
kills momentum

50
00:02:25,665 --> 00:02:26,545
#3

51
00:02:26,347 --> 00:02:29,147
#3, lead with purpose. Start

52
00:02:29,147 --> 00:02:31,827
with the why. People are more engaged

53
00:02:31,827 --> 00:02:34,027
when they understand the reason behind

54
00:02:34,027 --> 00:02:36,587
the message, so we want to make the

55
00:02:36,587 --> 00:02:38,827
purpose clear right up front,

56
00:02:39,467 --> 00:02:41,587
right?I'm sharing this update, for

57
00:02:41,587 --> 00:02:44,547
example, to keep you informed. And

58
00:02:44,547 --> 00:02:47,547
to prepare you for what you have

59
00:02:47,787 --> 00:02:48,347
ahead.

60
00:02:50,747 --> 00:02:52,907
Number four, we want to add emotion to

61
00:02:52,907 --> 00:02:55,707
drive action. So data tells,

62
00:02:55,947 --> 00:02:58,587
but stories sell. We've been

63
00:02:58,587 --> 00:03:01,587
listening to stories our whole life and

64
00:03:01,587 --> 00:03:04,347
they motivate us into action. So data

65
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:06,827
tells, stories sell. So use

66
00:03:06,827 --> 00:03:09,787
examples, metaphors, emotional tone

67
00:03:09,787 --> 00:03:12,347
to connect. People may forget the

68
00:03:12,347 --> 00:03:14,987
details, but they remember how your

69
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:17,147
words made them feel. There's a famous

70
00:03:17,147 --> 00:03:17,947
quote around that.

71
00:03:19,947 --> 00:03:22,427
People may forget the details, but they

72
00:03:22,427 --> 00:03:25,227
remember how your words made them

73
00:03:25,307 --> 00:03:27,387
feel. So our

74
00:03:28,107 --> 00:03:30,427
challenge this week. Choose one

75
00:03:30,427 --> 00:03:33,147
message that you need to deliver this

76
00:03:33,147 --> 00:03:35,147
week, whether it's an e-mail, a

77
00:03:35,147 --> 00:03:37,587
presentation, or simply a conversation.

78
00:03:38,347 --> 00:03:41,307
And use today's four-part checklist. So

79
00:03:41,307 --> 00:03:43,787
who's the audience?Is the message

80
00:03:43,787 --> 00:03:45,947
clear?What's the

81
00:03:45,947 --> 00:03:48,387
purpose?And how can you

82
00:03:48,427 --> 00:03:50,267
connect it emotionally?

83
00:03:52,147 --> 00:03:55,067
And remember, great leaders don't just

84
00:03:55,147 --> 00:03:57,307
talk, they connect.

85
00:03:58,587 --> 00:04:01,187
Incredibly important. Until next

86
00:04:01,187 --> 00:04:04,067
time, keep building tomorrow's best

87
00:04:04,067 --> 00:04:06,507
leaders today. I'll see you next week.
