Ideas I Need From You
PURPOSE: Ask your friends or team members for ideas to help solve a critical issue.
Hot Seat
PURPOSE: Create an environment of open communication with your team or your family. Take the “heat” from your team or family members to create an environment of open communication.
Using I-Statements
PURPOSE: Use I-statements to help you share your feelings clearly and appropriately or take ownership of a certain responsibility.
Brand Yourself for Increased Opportunities
PURPOSE: Create an “elevator speech” to share with senior leaders, peers, and co-workers which highlights your skills, capabilities and desired roles within the organization… you never know what great opportunities it can manifest.
Very Powerful Person
PURPOSE: Create a ten-minute business case to create support for a new idea with a “Very Powerful Person” in your organization or circle of influence. Note: This process is also great to use when introducing an idea to your significant other, manager, or a co-worker.
Be Assertive
PURPOSE: Learn how to feel more comfortable and confident sharing your thoughts, feelings and rationale with people who have a different level, title, or personality than you. Take an assertiveness skills class to provide guidelines and suggestions to give you the effective communication skills you need.
Who's In Your Tribe?
PURPOSE: Often times when we don’t feel comfortable sharing our thoughts or ideas, we are not surrounding ourselves with a tribe of people that make us feel confident. Take time to reflect on who is in your tribe and how they individually make you feel.
Like Minds
PURPOSE: Surrounding yourself with people who have similar passions and interests as you will help you to actively live life and celebrate what makes you happy!
