In the realm of impactful communication, especially within corporations, one must start with a fundamental component: Purpose. Introducing my concept of "The Ecology of Influence in Communication," where purpose is not just an element, but the backbone of all strategic interaction.
Purpose in communication is about authenticity, intention, and understanding the types of messages that resonate with different audiences. It’s about aligning your message with your core values and the objectives you wish to achieve. A common mistake made by many organizations is the misalignment between the speaker's intention and the audience's expectations, often resulting in disengagement and missed opportunities.
Authenticity breeds trust, and trust is the currency of effective communication. When a speaker’s message is deeply rooted in genuine beliefs and transparent intentions, it not only engages but also persuades and inspires the audience. In corporate settings, authenticity can transform standard interactions into powerful engagements that drive change and foster a strong organizational culture.
Intentionality involves being clear about what you want to achieve with your communication. Whether it's to inform, persuade, or entertain, every piece of communication should be designed with a purpose in mind. This strategic approach ensures that every word spoken or written contributes towards achieving the desired outcome.
