In this quick episode, Mr. Rico lays out the Client Nation series. This is a project that will span the next few episodes of the Power To Adapt Podcast. This episode lays out the goals of the overall series, and how they can benefit the audience in taking their virtual communication skills and influence to the next level through any situation. On this episode we explore the Dominant region.

The client nation series will help you highlight your strengths and blind spots that may be influencing how others perceive you virtually or face to face. Furthermore, it will teach you how to adjust and increase trust and rapport easily. This will result in you being able to read and adjust quickly to speak your team's or client's language effectively... every time.

We want to hear from you; For suggestions, opinions, success stories or just let us know we are doing a good job: email [email protected]. I personally respond to every email.

Today's Ricoisms

Treat your team as your "internal" clients.

Understand your team's natural communication tendencies and adjust to it to create a comfort zone in which you can communicate clearly. Once you've created this comfort zone, you can effectively improve the perceived value of what you are saying.

4 Regions of the Client Nation (think about which of your team members would come from which region) - Common questions members of these regions ask:

1. The Dominant Region - What's going on here, why is this important
2. The Interactive Region - Who else is here?
3. The Steady Region - How do we do this?
4. The Calculating Region - Why are we doing this?

Your pace of communication determines which members of your team you connect most to.
