3. Set Goals: Please read the white paper about S.M.A.R.T. goals if you are unfamiliar with smart goals.
4. Start a Buddy System
The goal of having a buddy system is to have someone help you with your goals and keep you accountable with achieving them.
A buddy will be someone whom you trust. Please contact the person whom you wish to walk along with you as you make changes to your communication style. Let him/her know what you are up to and ask them if they will support you. This person will be asked from time-to-time to help you with some of your goals. I would encourage you to have regular meetings with your buddy. When you meet…
- Share your goals and objectives.
- Discuss how you are measuring success.
- On each phone call, talk about successes and failures for that week.
- Keep track of when you meet and for how long.
- Establish a regular time to meet.
5. Record a pre-training speech sample. You will be glad for it at the end when you can apply your new techniques! Just use your phone in the "memo" app and label it as pre-training speech sample. Be sure to save it. If you're not sure what to say, we've sent you an email of things to record yourself saying. At the end of training, you can make another speech sample using the same instructions. Then compare the two recordings. Notice any difference? You may want to share this with people who are close to you, too!
