Episode 28: Communicating with Agility, Not Perfection with Victoria Rennoldson
Send us a text
I was drawn to a phrase Victoria uses a lot which is Communicating with Agility. Or, in other words Agile Communication. She works with mid to senior level professionals who are often working in English as their second language and they would like to strive for perfect communication. But as she quite rightly points out we can’t become a TedTalk speaker every time we communicate with our stakeholders at work and let’s face it that style is often not the most appropriate style to use!
What is a communication agility mindset? Victoria says a good starting point is to ask yourself: What are your communication strengths & areas to improve? Often we are very self-critical and don’t realize our strengths and miss those areas in which we can improve.
Once we have thought about ourselves, we need to turn our attention to thinking about others. How can we best serve our audience?
We both work with clients who struggle with their confidence. And I agree with Victoria that confidence is a journey. I like how she compares it to a bowl of spaghetti. And, I think the world of communication has become even more complex when we think of the virtual channel. So Communication Agility is now about:
- How to build virtual presence and connection?
- What intercultural differences should we be mindful of?
- How can we bring out the best in people so that everyone has a voice and is heard?
- What individual behaviours have we been noticing and how should we adjust our behaviour?
Stay until the end as Victoria shares her 3 top tips on becoming a more agile communicator and you won’t want to miss her PSS tool that’s so helpful when your communication goes wrong. I think I’ve used this tool quite a number of times in my career so thank you Victoria for giving me the acronym for it!
