Communicate Your Ideas with Impact

“Good ideas are not adopted automatically.
They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.”
~ Hyman Rickover
      
How many ideas do you have percolating, yet you’re stuck, overwhelmed, and in inaction? What stops you?

     You want your ideas to have an impact – on your business, family, community, or the world. IMPACT© is the mnemonic for a system I developed that represents the sequence of thoughts and actions that help you position your ideas for profit.




I - Initiate your idea.
Apply critical and creative thinking to choose the idea on which you’ll focus. Then capture your idea details.

M - Mold your message.
Organize your details to give structure to and gain clarity about your idea.

P - Plot your strategy.
Develop your idea implementation strategy. Work with a trusted partner who can see what you may overlook.

A - Attention…command It.
Use techniques that capture people’s attention so that they’ll hear your message and help you implement your idea.

C - Communicate for action.
Employ effective communication and presentation skills to convey your idea and garner necessary support.

T - Terminate assertively.
Ask for what you need to move your idea forward.


     Great ideas occupy smart brain cells. Follow a system to make an IMPACT© with your ideas and position them for profit.
