Communication with Dave Bricker, Paula Rizzo & Michael Roderick
On this week on GoalChat, Debra Eckerling talks about Communication with brand storyteller Dave Bricker, Speakipedia; media consultant Paula Rizzo, Listful Living; and connector Michael Roderick of Small Pond Enterprises. The panel, which met last June for a discussion on Pitching, are all featured in Debra’s new book "52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting."
Communication is the goal of every interaction. Dave, Paula, and Mike talk about the value of communication, what makes a good vs a bad communicator, and more.
What is Communication?
– Dave: Assurance that someone else gets us
– Mike: It’s the first thing we learn but something we never master, we are a constant student
– Paula: Give and take. It’s listening as much as it is talking
Qualities of a Good Communicator
– Dave: Someone who offers value
– Paula: A listener who retains the information you share
– Mike: People love to feel useful, they hate to feel used
Improving Digital Communication
– Paula: Read what you are posting/sharing out loud first
– Mike: Be intentional when you plan to respond to someone else’s content; read it first to make sure it sparked something
– Dave: Avoid scripted comments, be yourselfÂ
Goals
– Mike: Reach out to someone you admire and show that you have done your research without expectation of response
– Dave: Think about what you can do in terms of producing an outcome for another person that will make you both happy
– Paula: Make a to-become list, based on characteristic you admire in others
