People don’t want to be told what to do, they want to discover it on their own. This is key to achieving resonance and engagement. Thaler Pekar & Partners has developed the Engagement Equation® to guide you in your successful, efficient, and highly effective communication.
Unlike pushing a message at someone, you are a more effective communicator when pulling them toward engagement, on their terms. You are then facilitating an interaction that is based on trust and respect, that your audience wishes for and welcomes.
Intention:
What do you want your listener to do? How can you best clarify the goal of your communication?
Invitation:
Invite your listeners to play a role. How will they know your communication is meant for them?
Engagement:
What will most resonate with your audience?
Challenge
A DC-based public affairs firm approached us to develop the professional communication skills of their full staff; to align the staff in speaking about the firm; and to secure new business.
Approach
The Engagement Equation® was used to explore the ways in which business development conversations can commence; to demonstrate and appreciate each employee’s individual voice; and to realize the importance and practicality of setting intention, gaining trust, and demonstrating respect.
Results
By thoroughly experiencing and understanding the structure of engagement, employee morale, confidence, and sense of ownership significantly increased and has been sustained; the staff achieved clarity on their shared intention; and new business development accelerated.
