I've put together a short curriculum to become a better 1:1 communicator.
Why? My 'right' ideas are often ignored by family and colleagues. Later, those same people will put the same ideas into practice after hearing them from another source.
At first I thought it was my audiences fault: they were failing to pay attention; that my ideas were too early to be recognized as right; or even that the repetition of the idea was required to be seen as right.
Gradually, I realized I am not being persuasive when I present my ideas. I went on a search for ways I could improve my persuasiveness in 1:1 communication.
