Hello amazing people,
Have you got some great ideas, but don't know where to begin?
Are you tired of seeing your ideas get overlooked?
Do you feel like you're speaking a different language when trying to get buy-in for your ideas?
We've got something special to help you out.
On our upcoming episode of the Beyond Deadlines podcast, "The Art of the Ask: Techniques for Gaining Approval" (Watch or Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Youtube this Tuesday). We examine the essential skill of moving from ideas to approvals.
This isn't just theory; it's practical, actionable strategies that you can begin using now.
We've created a free presentation template for you to use immediately (Google Slide | Power Point).
Why You Can't Miss This Episode this Tuesday:
Master the Pyramid Principle: We show you how to start with the conclusion first so your ideas are immediately compelling and catchy. People have short attention spans. Getting the important part over the line first increases your chances of success.
Develop Emotional Intelligence in Your Ask: When making your ask, use emotional intelligence to craft your message in a way that resonates on a personal level with stakeholders. Find out how to align your proposal with their priorities and values, thereby increasing the chance of approval.
Quantify Your Impact: Learn how to articulate the value of your ideas in terms that matter the most – time and money. We show you how to break down your proposal's benefits into direct and indirect savings, making it irrefutably attractive for decision-makers who are eyeing the bottom line.
The best way to establish a brand when you are new to an organization is by offering something that the organization is missing.
I've found that it doesn't matter whether you're new or not. You may need time to understand the project, build a network, or even have an epiphany. Fear not. When your time is ready, use the templates we provide and go make magic happen (Google Slide | Power Point).
