See if this sounds a little familiar…

You’ve been an engineer in a larger organization for a while now. And over the years, your insight into the engineering process has created a steady vertical climb in your career path.  But now, there are a few rumblings regarding your communication style. It’s obviously served you well for many years but it seems like the bar has been raised. You’re finding it more and more difficult to interact effectively with senior managers. And as you’ve added more direct reports, you’re hearing your communication style isn’t working with them. What’s happening?

The reality is that the higher an engineer moves in an organization, the higher the level of other’s expectations for communication clarity.  What you know is not enough anymore compared to how you communicate what you know and how you lead others. If this is sounding a little familiar, it’s because many have gone before you with the same challenge.

This podcast will give you some insight into three common communication scenarios for engineers and how you can excel at them all!

Ok… these important opportunities for communicating value may not always occur in an elevator, but they do happen frequently. In the airport - in the line at the store - or at a conference, the time will come sooner or later when someone (who could be important to you and your company) asks THE question…. “so, what do you do?” You have just a moment to distill down the value you or your company bring to the table into just a few opportune moments. You need one succinct set of thoughts that stick in their mind. Would you get stuck? This simple 3-step model will help you refine a succinct 30-second message that helps your prospect “get” your important message.

The painful reality is most presenters (and their messages) are doomed to be forgotten by the time it takes our audiences to get back to their cars.  Sure, a few things may stick, but for the most part, presenters are far too forgettable.

Part of the challenge is that we’ve been taught some pretty goofy things about memorability and influence.  We bought into the principle that if we can just make a compelling factual case for our idea supported by some cool PowerPoint … we couldn’t lose!   Nothing could be further from the truth.

This session gives you some practical tips, inspired by psychologist Dr. Scott Lee, into how you and your ideas can be recalled long after other’s messages have bit the dust. The 5 steps covered in this 9-minute podcast might just change how you present forever!
