Taking credit for all the cool stuff lots of smart people around me do

1 Understand your audience

Before you present your idea, you need to do some research on your audience. Who are they? What are their goals, needs, and concerns? How do they prefer to receive information? What are their expectations and assumptions? By knowing your audience, you can tailor your message to suit their interests, values, and style. You can also anticipate their questions and objections, and prepare your responses accordingly. For example, if your audience is mainly data-driven, you can use facts and figures to back up your idea. If your audience is more emotional, you can use stories and examples to appeal to their feelings.

"what makes them successful?" is a great question to ask yourself before you start articulating your pitch. Many of us will not resist doing something that makes us more successful in what we define as success (impact, reputation, reward, growth, fulfilment, legacy, etc). Make sure you align your pitch to what makes them tick.

2 Craft a clear and compelling message

When you have a good understanding of your audience, you need to create a concise and specific message that conveys your idea and its advantages. Use simple language that is easy to understand and avoid jargon, acronyms, or technical terms. Structure your message logically with an introduction, body, and conclusion. To start, use a hook to grab your audience's attention and interest such as a question, statistic, quote, story, or problem related to your idea. Then state your idea in a brief manner and provide evidence and support to demonstrate how it can solve a problem or meet a need. Lastly, end with a call to action that invites your audience to take the next step.

Prepare more than what you plan to adress. Three things I recommend to do: - Prepare answers to expected objections - Link to accepted common top strategic objective - Be ready with the insights that answer "why" we are here

3 Engage your audience

When presenting your idea, you should strive to engage your audience and make them feel valued. To do this, ask open-ended questions that encourage them to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences. Listen actively to their responses and acknowledge their points and feelings. Additionally, use eye contact, gestures, and facial expressions to show your enthusiasm and confidence. Humor, anecdotes, or metaphors can make your message more memorable and relatable. Visuals such as graphs, charts, images, or videos can help illustrate your idea and make it more appealing and understandable.

4 Address objections and concerns

Even if you have a great idea and a persuasive message, it is normal and expected to face objections and concerns from your audience. Rather than ignoring or dismissing these objections, you should address them respectfully and constructively. Start by thanking your audience for raising their concerns, and restate their concerns in your own words to confirm that you understood them correctly. Provide counter-arguments or evidence that refute or mitigate their concerns, as well as offering alternatives or compromises that can accommodate their needs or preferences. Doing this will show how your idea can overcome or avoid potential challenges or risks, as well as how it can be adapted or modified to suit their needs.

5 Build trust and rapport

To successfully persuade your team members and stakeholders to get on board with your ideas, it's essential to build trust and rapport. These foundations of effective teamwork and collaboration create a positive and supportive relationship between you and your audience. To do this, show respect and appreciation for your audience, be honest and transparent about your idea, remain consistent and reliable, seek feedback from your audience, show empathy and understanding for their emotions and needs. With practice and experience, these tips and strategies will help you communicate your ideas effectively, address potential objections, build trust and rapport with your audience, achieve your goals, enhance teamwork, and advance your career.

Recognize feedback that has been integrated - it creates stakes for the owners. They now become change agents as their idea / contributions are integral to the project.
