Session Title: Impact vs. Intent – How do you Communicate for Success?

Leadership Communication 

Session Summary:

How do you communicate? People thrive on communication; introverted, extroverted, verbal and non verbal, we all need to be able to communicate with one another in order to survive and succeed. Though sometimes, things get lost in translation. Your intent, the way in which you are communicating, doesn’t necessarily send the messages and signals that help to achieve your desired goals, the impact. Intent vs. impact is not uncommon in human interaction. People can hear things via their own filters, and messages can become misunderstood.

So what happens when your attempts at communication go a bit awry? When your intent doesn’t match up with the intended impact? Part of being a successful communicator is being able to identify these potential situations. Identifying these situations starts with awareness and understanding. It is important to try and understand the other parties’ point of view, possible filters and the way in which they may see and hear things. You must adapt your style and messaging to work with these things in order to maintain positive communication and strong relationships.
