1 Know your audience

Before you present your ideas, think about who you're talking to. What are their goals, challenges, preferences, and perspectives? How do they make decisions? What do they care about? How do they communicate? Knowing your audience will help you tailor your message, use relevant examples, and anticipate objections. It will also show that you respect and understand them, which will make them more receptive to your ideas.

The good news about technology and social media; it is easier then ever to find out what 'voices' people are attracted to and 'hear'. You do not need this insights for everyone in the group - just for the key decision makers or some individuals who are representative. You can go to LinkedIn; check what your key decision makers are attracted to. Authorities? Accomplishments? Fame? How do they interact with others, what vocabulary? Combine this with what you observe; Do they admire certain people in your organization? Do they always say 'no' first to everything? Do they act based on proven results or respect the hierarchy? Which ideas from others did they take on - and how were these introduced?

Esto me recuerda a una coletilla que usaba un compa?ero en lo profesional hace a?os. Regla número 1: “conocer al personal”. Y es cierto. Si has de comunicar, esto no va de hablar unidireccional mente. Se trata más de escuchar que de ser escuchado. Tratar de responder ?Qué claves son las que me harán captar la atención del equipo?, puede marcar una gran diferencia para que tu idea tenga cabida.

Understand the interests and needs of your colleagues. Tailor your ideas to align with their goals. Show how your suggestions address their concerns and can lead to shared success. Listening to them first can also open doors for your ideas to be heard.

2 Use evidence and logic

Your ideas need to be backed up by evidence and logic. Don't just rely on your intuition or opinion. Use data, facts, research, or examples to support your points. Explain how your ideas will benefit your colleagues, your team, or your organization. Show how your ideas are aligned with the objectives, values, and strategies of your audience. Use clear and concise language, and avoid jargon or ambiguity. Make sure your ideas are realistic, feasible, and actionable.

Backing your ideas with evidence is non-negotiable. Consider creating a visual presentation that includes graphs, charts, and infographics to illustrate your points compellingly. For example, if suggesting a new project management approach, provide a case study of its successful implementation in a similar organization, including key performance indicators before and after the adoption.

Es cierto que la evidencia es parte importante. Pero por si sola (logos), no hará que la idea sea más convincente. Es más, en exceso, puede llegar a abrumar a tu interlocutor. Hay que buscar un buen equilibrio con el resto de claves comunicativas para llegar a persuadir a tu equipo.

3 Appeal to emotions

Evidence and logic are important, but they're not enough. You also need to appeal to the emotions of your audience. Emotions play a key role in decision-making, as they influence our motivation, attention, and memory. You can use stories, anecdotes, metaphors, or visuals to make your ideas more memorable and engaging. You can also use positive emotions, such as curiosity, excitement, or pride, to inspire your audience. Or you can use negative emotions, such as fear, anger, or frustration, to create a sense of urgency or need for change.

People buy from people. Regardless of whether you are selling a product a service or an idea. Positive emotions portray benefits and encourage openness to adopt.

4 Listen and respond

Getting your colleagues to listen to your ideas is not a one-way street. You also need to listen to their ideas, feedback, questions, and concerns. Listening shows that you value their input, respect their views, and are open to learning from them. It also helps you identify any gaps, misunderstandings, or objections that you need to address. When you respond, be respectful, constructive, and confident. Acknowledge their points, clarify your ideas, address their issues, and provide solutions. Don't be defensive, aggressive, or dismissive.

5 Collaborate and compromise

You may have great ideas, but you don't have all the answers. You need to collaborate with your colleagues to refine, improve, and implement your ideas. Collaboration fosters trust, creativity, and innovation. It also helps you gain buy-in and support from your colleagues, as they feel involved and valued. To collaborate effectively, you need to be flexible, adaptable, and willing to compromise. You need to recognize the strengths and contributions of your colleagues, and appreciate the diversity of opinions and perspectives. You also need to be ready to adjust, modify, or even abandon your ideas if they don't work out.

When we make decisions together, it's not just about throwing out ideas, its about tapping into everyone's smarts. By involving others, we're not just looking for a pat on the back, but working side by side to find answers. This team spirit not only makes our ideas better but also makes everyone feel like they're part of something important. And hey, the coolest ideas usually come from mixing different viewpoints, so staying open to change is how we make magic happen......

6 Follow up and follow through

Getting your colleagues to listen to your ideas is not the end of the process. You need to follow up and follow through to ensure that your ideas are put into action. Follow up with your colleagues to thank them for their time, attention, and feedback. Remind them of the key points, benefits, and next steps of your ideas. Provide any additional information, resources, or support that they may need. Follow through with your commitments, responsibilities, and actions. Monitor the progress, results, and impact of your ideas. Celebrate the successes, learn from the failures, and share the feedback and lessons with your colleagues.

When making decisions, it's important to consider how our minds work. People often stick to what they already believe, so try to fit your ideas into that framework. Also, making your ideas seem rare can make them more appealing.
