Do you know the difference between delivering information and delivering a message for influence?

My guest today, Deb Coviello will break this down for us. Her tips will help you be seen, heard, and invited to the table at your company or organization.

To deliver a message that influences, your message needs to include:

• Data
• Trend
• Risk or Opportunity?
• Impact or Magnitude

All in the language that the person understands

How to have confidence when delivering a message:

• Tone of voice – be firm, don’t use sing-songy delivery
• Use affirmative language

Today, I want to talk about Agile. It is a term that gets misused and misunderstood a lot. If you are not a software developer, my goal is to help you better understand what this term is and how it is best used at companies. If you are a software developer, please listen to the episode anyway. I know you think you know what Agile is, but I want you to be able to help others understand it as well, and you’ll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of where agile DOESN’T work well. And if you are a project manager, same thing applies. You need to be able to explain to people when Agile is appropriate and when it is not.
