persuasive

Making decisions reality at work or getting a decision implemented by others to achieve a desired result - is far harder than making the decision itself. Improve decision buy-in from your boss, your team, and others, to make the implementation of decisions quicker, easier, and more successful.

I share the steps and tactics I use in persuading others to buy-in to the decisions made and work to make them a reality.

Being persuasive with team members is essential to be an effective and good manager. There are so many decisions made by others that you have to work with your team to put into practice. 

Gaining buy-in at work, particularly with those implementing difficult decisions or complex decisions,  is essential to make those decisions effective and get implemented. There are four useful decision making routes I suggest you use when making decisions which help with decision implementation. 

These are:

1.      Unilateral

2.      Consult and decide

3.      Build consensus

4.      Unanimous 

I explain exactly how to use each route when making decisions at work. Matching the route to the decision type is a key skill to get decisions implemented quickly and successfully. 

To persuade others quickly and effectively, I use a 5 step process to plan how I am going to gain decision buy-in commitment. These steps are:

1.      Who are the influencers

2.      Understand their position

3.      Work out the impact

4.      Explain the benefits

5.      Gain the right support level

I go through how I use each step to gain commitment and make decisions a reality at work. 

Finally, I use a ReCODE model for communicating decisions and recommendation to get buy-in and the action I need from bosses, team members and other stakeholders.

When making decisions, always think about the quickest route to getting the result you need rather than the quickest way to make a decision.

Ep #4 How to Teach Writing to Middle School and High School Students: Step 5—Evaluation

Step 5: Have a plan to evaluate student writing

Would you rather grade a math test or an English paper? I bet you said math paper, right? With its very convenient answer key and one correct solution for each problem. No sweat. 

Grading essays is a whole other story. Because there isn’t just one correct way to write an essay—there are so many variables, and what standards are you supposed to use anyway? How do you tell the difference between a “good” paper and a “bad” one? And then how do you explain to your student what they need to work on to improve for next time?

If you are nodding your head because you can identify with the struggle, then you are going to love this episode because I explain how to use a simple grading rubric to evaluate most kinds of writing. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with the term “rubric.” I’ll let you know what it is it and tell you exactly how to use it.

In this episode, you will also learn

·         The big mistake most homeschool parent/teachers make when grading essays

·         Why you shouldn’t mark every grammar and spelling mistake

·         The specific criteria you can use  to grade nearly every essay your student writes

If that sounds good, you’ll definitely want to download the two PDFs that go with this episode:

Ø  A blank grading rubric that you can use over and over again

Ø  An example of a filled out grading rubric

I’ll be referencing those documents during the episode, so you’ll want to grab them ahead of time if you can.

That brings us to the end of the four-part series on how to teach writing to older students. Here are the steps one more time:

Step 1: Have students keep a structured journal (episode 1)

Step 2: Understand the writing process and help your students apply it to their writing (episode 2)

Step 3: Learn the main types of writing (episode 3)

Step 4: Plan out your writing calendar—how many papers and which kinds of assignments (episode 3)

Step 5: Have a plan for how to evaluate student writing (episode 4)

Remember, it’s not enough to have a good plan. You have to get in motion. You don’t have to wait for the beginning of the school year to start. You can start today, or at least tomorrow, with the journal writing plan.

I hope you feel empowered and ready to make writing a priority. You can do it!

#3 How to Teach Writing to Middle School and High School Students: Step 3 and Step 4—Types of Writing and Planning Your Calendar

This is how you plan out your writing curriculum for the entire year.

Are you excited to set up your writing classroom? I love this episode because it brings everything I’ve been talking about together into one comprehensive plan. And you know what they say: those who fail to plan, plan to fail. The value of a well-thought out plan especially in the hands of a busy homeschool mom is almost priceless. But no matter how good the plan, you must follow through with it for it to be a success. 

I wanted to make sure I said that, because I think that without a plan, failure is almost inevitable, but even with a plan, success isn’t automatic if the plan just sits in its shiny box and is never taken out and implemented. So part of your plan has to be taking action. 

In this episode, I’ll share with you 

·         The five main kinds of writing that students need to know and practice

·         An easy way to practice summarizing that students love

·         The value of incorporating fiction writing into your curriculum

·         Specific assignments (with examples!) for the main kinds of writing

Obviously, you need to know what your options are if you’re going to make writing assignments, so that’s what Step 3 is all about—getting familiar with the main types of writing. I explain them in detail with plenty of examples.

Finally, in Step 4, it’s time for you to set up your calendar, deciding exactly which assignments you will make and when you will assign them. 

And just like that, you have a plan!

I hear from so many women leaders I work with that one of the biggest challenges inherent in a highly matrixed environment boils down to influencing without authority. If you’ve ever been left wondering, “How on earth do I get this person to do the thing I need them to do, despite not having any authority over them?” - today’s episode is for you!

In this week's podcast episode, Jill and Tony debate which one is more persuasive. 

Part 14 of 23 in the extended series "Belonging to Him," which takes an in-depth look at the Gospel through the lens of personal relationship. Traditional Christian apologetics focus mainly on defending absolute truth. While this should be part of our focus, our first priority should be living in absolute relationship with God. We must know him intimately in every possible way, experiencing the reality of eternal life long before we ever set foot in heaven. Like with his first disciples, it must be clear to others that we have been with Jesus (sermon recorded in 2018).

Do you want to be more persuasive? If you need to connect with others and make those connections pay off, I’m going to share with you 5 things you can start using today to be more persuasive.

Understanding how great ideas come to fruition is the key to success for many leaders – something that Christian Ward, Chief Data Officer and EVP for Yext, knows a lot about. A serial entrepreneur with enthusiasm for leveraging data to tell compelling stories about the world around us, Christian shares insight on how to develop new ideas, listen to hear what people don’t say, and lead in a way that others rally behind.
