ReplyDeleteHowever, you haven't had much success with this in the past. So, how can you get everyone to support your idea?

This is where it's useful to know about Cialdini's Six Principles of Influence.
In this article, we'll examine these principles, and we'll look at how you can apply them to influence others. We'll also think about the ethics of doing this, and we'll explore how you can "see through" people who try to use these principles to manipulate you.

THE 3 ELEMENTS OF DIRECT COMMUNICATION
ReplyDeleteAccording to Albert Mehrabian of UCLA, there are 3 elements in any direct, face-to-face communication. They are the elements of words, tone of voice, and body language.
1. The Elements of Words
Words only account for 7 % of any message. For an effective communication to take place, of course, all three parts of the message must be congruent and consistent with each other. If there isn’t any congruency, the receiver will be confused and will have a tendency to accept the predominant form of communication rather than the literal meaning or words.
2. Emphasis and Tone
The emphasis and tone have the power to completely change the message that is being communicated. Often, you will say something to a person and they may become offended. When you express that the words you used were intended to be inoffensive, the other person will tell you that it was your tone of voice that was the issue.
3. Body Language
You can dramatically increase the effect of your communication by leaning toward the speaker or shifting your weight forward onto the balls of your feet. If you can face the person directly and give them direct eye contact, combined with fully-focused attention, you double the impact of what you’re saying.

“In the right key one can say anything. In the wrong key, nothing: the only delicate part is the establishment of the key.” —George Bernard Shaw
ReplyDeleteShaw’s quote is precisely right. If you address someone in the right key, you can do anything. If you address him/her in the wrong one, you can do nothing. The most inspiring message, the most insightful thought, the most intelligent critique, are absolutely meaningless unless they’re understood both intellectually and emotionally by the person to whom they’re being addressed. They’re major keys not just to personal power, but to many of the broader issues we must confront collectively. If you want to be a master persuader, a master communicator, in both business and in personal life, you have to know how to find the right key. - read more http://training.tonyrobbins.com/2120/theres-a-secret-to-communicating-in-the-right-key-metaprogram-1/
