25.01.2022 The 5 "C"s of Communication: 1. Command through presence (voice eyecontact) 2. Connect with your audience (emotional ,relevant) 3. Compel your audience to act (benefit) 4. Clarity of message (through structure)... 5. Compassionate (through empathy) See more

23.01.2022 Other thoughts on voice in the virtual world. This is now your main communication medium along with your facial expression. Therefore you must be a lot more aware of communicating with your voice: 1. Work on your filler words - see last post 2. Bring light and shade into you voice so it is interesting to listen to and engages your audience (practise by telling children stories and then keeping the same voice - speak about your business - it will tone down) 3. If you don't "do" the emotion, they will not "feel" the emotion.

23.01.2022 A big thank you to those of you liking my page. Please stay in touch with more interesting links and blogs to come to help you all.

21.01.2022 When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving advice you have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me ... and you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problems, you have failed me, strange as that may seem. Listen! All I ask is that you listen. Not talk or do just hear me. Advice is cheap: 50 cents will get you both Dorothy Dix and Dr Spock in the same newspaper. And I can DO for myself ; I'm not helpless. Maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless. When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself, you contribute to my fear and weakness. But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I quit trying to convince you and can get about the business of understanding what's behind this irrational feeling. And when that's clear, the answers are obvious and I don't need advice. So, please listen and just hear me, and if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn; and I'll listen to you.

15.01.2022 Continuing the virtual meeting theme. Our last post was on making it more professional; today's is on engagement: 1. Make sure peope know why they are there. This is simple to do by briefly explaining why they are there "today" - for example "Welcome to the team meeting and today it is important because of our update to processes that will impact how each of you analyse transactions." Notice it is about them - not the business or you. 2. Ask open questions that get your team thinking rather than telling them everything. For example "how do you see this new way changing how you work?" 3. Instead of asking "does any one have any questions?" Ask "what questions do you have?" and then count to 10, you will be amazed how often you well then be asked a question.

13.01.2022 Lately I've been listening to Patrick Lencioni and his podcasts called "At the Table". I have to tell you they are brilliant! He continues his work on unpacking 5 Dysfunctions of a Team in simple practical ways. I have learnt so much from him in regards to Trust, Positive Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results. If you are looking for something useful and interesting - this is it! https://www.tablegroup.com/at-the-table/

13.01.2022 Thank you to those that joined the first event this morning. Key points were as follows: 1. Command - you need to own the space! You have the right to be there speaking. Make sure your mindset tells you that. Stand or sit straight and tall and look at your audience - or the camera if online 2. Compel - with stories that are relevant along with examples and analogies 3. Connect at an emotional level - do the emotion through your voice gestures and facial expression. They ca...n't feel it, if you don't do it. 4. Clarity - eliminate fillers like um and ah. Ensure you have a begining middle and end in your communication - just like the news at night. 5. Compassion - be human, display vulnerability, tell stories of your own mistakes and what you learnt. #leadersconnect #communicate #emotionswork

13.01.2022 Nudge Coaching on communication skills. Please come back with any questions you may have.

10.01.2022 Listening to my favourite guru today Patrick Lencioni. He poses a question around returning to work to the old "posture" or taking what we have learnt from working virtually. It is an interesting topic. He gave loads of examples of how with zoom - you didn't worry about interrupting a "busy" person, you reached out to them. Yet in the office we determine they are "busy", because they are looking at their laptop, so we are less likely to reach out. There was no solution ...and I don't have one either. He did give four words which I believe we should contemplate: What will you do in your return to "normal" work? Will you: 1. Restore? 2. Replace? 3. Relinquish 4. Redesign? If your house burnt down - which "R" would you pick? See more

07.01.2022 How do you want your team to be in your meetings? If not the sleeping dog - what are you doing to make it energising, interactive, collaborative and fun?

07.01.2022 Your voice is key to communication. So let’s eliminate filler words like umm ahh and ok. Here are some exercises to help. 1. Have a conversation having asked your partner to clap anytime they hear a filler word. Annoying yes! You must relax into it as at first you will not say any. This will help if you are unaware of filler words. 2. For 3 or so minutes per day for several weeks, say short random sentences out loud. E.g. My car is blue. You must pause between each sentence as you think of the next. You are creating a new habit to pause.

05.01.2022 Going live today at Midday! Special request to redo the 15 minute nudge on the 5 C's of Communication.

05.01.2022 Having worked virtually for some time now (like most you no doubt!), one thing I have noticed is people's voices. What I particularly notice is how hard it can be to follow someones communication when they seem to speak too fast. What I have learnt from years of face to face coaching with presentation skills, is that it usually isn't because the person is speaking fast, it is usually because they never stop speaking. All the words come out in a long stream like a fire hose.... If you have ever tried to drink from a fire hose - you will know how impossible that is. What we need to do instead, is, either slow the stream of water, or do it in a stop start way. Stop start is what we call sound bites, and they help people more easily follow you speaking. As with taking a bite of food, sometimes the bites are larger than others. That is a great thing as with your voice it will create variety and hence make your communication more interesting. This is fire hose: "Good morning everyone my name is Cecille Heath and I am your facilitator today from Corporate Fix." That was a big mouthful! Sound bite: "Good morning everyone....pause" "My name is Cecille Heath...pause" "and I'm your facilitator today from Corporate Fix...pause" See more

03.01.2022 Todays post is about virtual meetings. Ugg I hear you say - well it is our reality just now. You can make them much more interesting by doing a few things. Here is a start for looking professional: 1. Pick a good platform - personally I love Zoom and have used it for 3 and 4 hour facilitations. 2. Know how to use the technology - for example Zoom has great features with white boards, break out rooms etc.... 3. Set your self up with a good background - if you can, use the backgrounds on offer by your product. If you can't, make sure you have your lines straight - frame yourself properly - not a bookshelf going through your head or views up your nose or weird angles of your ceiling or a washing line. I use several books to raise my laptop and tilt it forward to get my head and, in my case, the shuttered window, lined up squarely. Have light in front of you - not behind. 4. Look at the camera - not the screen - makes for good eye contact.

03.01.2022 Look at and listen to this you tube video from the fabulous Peter Baker. I love his voice and he provides some terrific exercises to create more depth and resonance to improve the quality of your voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeyn3kLd1Y0
