تدريب Shadowing: 5 Rules for Communicating Effectively with Executives - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

If you've ever tried to communicate effectively with executives, you'll notice that they are sometimes speaking a different language.

Definitely the way they approach communication and the way they expect to be communicated to is a whole different landscape.

So in this video, what I want to share with you are the five rules

when it comes to effectively communicating with executives, right?

And when it comes to you wanting to talk to executives, keep in mind

that essentially the essence of what you're trying to achieve is

to get into their inner circle how to be a member of

that inner circle and it really is by invitation only right

so here are the five steps the five rules actually to effectively communicate with executives

and by the way if you enjoy this topic give me a thumbs up

and remember to subscribe to my channel ring that bell as well

so you can receive notifications every time I release videos like this every single week

so the five rules for speaking with executives let's not waste This time, rule number one is escape the minutiae.

Here's what I mean by that.

Executives aren't worried about the minutiae, which means the day -to -day routines.

We are always worried about day -to -day routines.

In fact, we've been programmed to concentrate on our to -do list, what we have to do every day, all the single things, every single thing that we do every day.

And we've been programmed to want to try to impress executives by showing them all the different things we do.

And then, therefore, whenever we speak with someone and we try to become impressive, we share how many things we've done, how many projects we've achieved,

and all the different programs that we've introduced, all the different projects that we have completed.

That is a minutiae, and that's not what they're interested in.

Because when it comes to minutiae, that is for a certain group of people.

It's for the doers, the implementers in the marketplace.

But you don't want to stay at implementation.

You don't want to be the person who does the thing.

And that's not where the executives are.

Executives aren't in the implementation stage of their career.

So if you want to move to the next level and demonstrate to your executives that you are worthy of leadership, this is where you have to escape the minutiae.

Because this is where you got to start to adopt the mindset of not operating from the implementer's landscape anymore right?

So rule number one, escape the minutiae, which leads us to rule number two.

And the second rule is to exude unshakable confidence.

Because let's face it, when you're in front of executives and you're communicating with them, sharing them with your ideas, trying to illustrate and communicate the value you have to bring,

they want to know that you believe in what you're talking about because that gives them confidence.

In any conversation that you're going to have with executives, it is going to be a transference of certainty.

They need to feel your certainty so

that they can have certainty in your competency and your ability to be in dynamic relationship with them.

So this is important when it comes to having confidence

that you are standing in front of the executives

and in no way at all do you feel that you are inferior to them.

This is extremely important.

You cannot give or exude any energy or any

or any body language or any language as well by word choice that you are inferior to them,

that you are looking up to them because that is not exuding unshakable confidence.

So when it comes to how do we do this, exuding that unshakable confidence, this is where you are communicating exactly the value that you have to bring,

but you got to believe in that value yourself

and you have to know exactly how the value you are

about to offer is certainly going to serve them to what they value in this organization.

So that is rule number two, that is exude unshakable confidence, which takes us to rule number three is to execute rain making conversations.

When you are at the executive level, this is where it's important.

What are they focused on?

They want to be able to make the business money.

They want to be profitable.

They want to stay relevant in that marketplace.

So it is very important that you execute rainmaking communications.

This is about speaking on them, speaking towards them at their level, not on the level that you've been used to operating.

It requires a completely different set of communication skills.

Some of the biggest mistakes that I see career professionals making when they are communicating with executives are,

for example, asking too many questions or irrelevant questions.

Another mistake, big mistake, is going on for too long, sharing the minutiae or stretching out their communications.

Another mistake that I see is they are making the executives explain the background to them when they should already know.

Another mistake that I see is relying too much on notes, writing a script or slides when they need to refer to it,

which leads to the next biggest mistake that I see very often is not knowing their stuff real cold.

And finally, the biggest mistake that I see also is trying to impress the executives.

Because when you are communicating with your executives, it's about how do I get into their inner circle by invitation only.

So that's you and you are noticing as I'm going through this list of biggest mistakes that you're noticing for yourself that, yeah, I really do that.

I write a script.

Oh yeah, I'm reading from my notes.

I am asking a lot of questions.

I'm not sure if I'm going on too long.

If you are finding and resonating with this, then I invite you to get some support.

I have experienced leading executives to land their most desired positions in their industry

and also how they can communicate effectively with their bosses and their bosses' bosses as well.

So if you want that coaching and you're serious about taking your career to executive levels, then I invite you to book a call with me.

There is a link in the description below this video, direct link where you can fill out an application

and this is where either myself

or someone from my team is going to get on a call to speak directly with you to explore whether

or not we can definitely work together and it is the right fit for both of us.

So if you're serious about achieving these outcomes, then book a call.

I look forward to seeing you on the inside.

Which takes us to rule number four, elongate your timeframes.

What do I mean by that?

Everybody operates on certain timeframes.

It's just what we're used to, our default mode.

So let me give you an example how how many of you

when you're watching this video do you resonate with planning the

year year by year what am i going to do next

year what are my next year's goals what do i hope to achieve by next year

if that's you and

that resonates with you the most then chances are your time

frame is year by year right however there are some individuals

and maybe this is you right maybe you make a five -year plan right you

and your your your partner or your spouse right and your teammates, maybe you're used to making the five year plan and you review that plan.

So if that's you and you resonate with that, then your timeframe is five years, right?

Five year timeframe.

Everybody has a timeframe that they're most comfortable with operating.

So this is where you got to know what has been your timeframe.

What has it been?

And you will find evidence that's coming true in your life, what your timeframes have been.

And you will notice that as you progress through your career, you're an ambitious career professional, You'll notice that when you progress through your career, from college, from recent graduate,

100

from junior member, mid -level manager, and now you're about to step into executive, you will notice that necessarily in order to get to each subsequent level,

101

that you needed to expand your timeframes.

102

Maybe when you got your first job out of college, your timeframe was operating on a paycheck to paycheck basis, in other words, month to month.

103

But now you're operating year by year or five years by five years

104

but executives operate from much elongated timeframes compared to you.

105

They operate from lifetimes.

106

They operate from timeframes that are lifetimes long or decades long.

107

So this is where it's important if you want to communicate effectively with your executives

108

that you operate and you communicate with them with their timeframes as well.

109

And in that way, you can really truly demonstrate that you're thinking on their level, that you are one of theirs,

110

a peer of theirs, when you're able to communicate with someone at their time frames, it's inspiring.

111

It feels like familiarity and they can trust you as well, that you can think in alignment with the vision.

112

Comment below.

113

I want to hear from you.

114

Which rules so far did you resonate with the most?

115

Are there ones in particular that you never thought of that are quite intriguing?

So comment below.

117

I want to hear from you.

123

and the fifth and final rule is to exercise business acumen

124

because at the executive level they want what is the next

125

best thing for this organization they're looking for the next best thing right it's important

126

that you don't just focus on problems but you actually see the reason why this business exists.

127

What exactly are they trying to achieve in terms of the big picture vision?

128

And chances are the vision involves some sort of profit, some sort of shift in market, some sort of value that they add into the marketplace.

129

So this is where you're going to wear your business owner hat, right?

130

You are no longer operating from an employee mindset.

131

You got to start to operate and think from their perspectives, bring forth your business acumen, not necessarily focusing on problems but focusing on what are we trying to achieve here

132

and how is the value that I'm the skill set

133

that I've had as an implementer for the past few years

134

and therefore as a manager how am I going to use all of these experiences

135

and real life work history that I've had

136

and how am I going to package it in such a way that I can demonstrate I understand why

137

I exist in this company and exactly how my skills, my knowledge, my expertise, and my experience,

138

how all of those things combine to help them achieve their business goals.

139

What is that?

140

So these are the five rules for talking to executives.

141

I look forward to hanging out with you in the next video.
