Powers of Communication Membership Event: Guest Speaker Eric Anderton, Entrepreneur and Advisor

September 10, 2020 at Seatac Marriott

The Three Pillars of Powerful Communication – This is a step-by-step leadership framework, built by a construction industry expert, that will teach you and your leadership team how to grow as leaders and communicators. 

To improve your communication, you must concisely, clearly, and consistently focus on three messages:

1. Vision
2. Comfort
3. Direction

Vision

To give vision you must communication the “why” and “where.” Why does your company exist (purpose) and where is the company going (strategic plan)?

Direction

This involves the “how,” “who,” and “when”. How the project or task is going to get done. Delegation to who is responsible to execute, and deadlines for when it will get done. 

Comfort

This is the “secret sauce” of great leaders. The idea of comfort comes from the ancient Roman legions. A “comforter” was an officer who would offer his troops encouragement prior to and in the midst of a battle. He also held them accountable for their assignments and gave them recognition fo their accomplishments. 

So, focus on three messages:

“You can do it!” (Encouragement)
“Did you do it?” (Accountability)
“You did it!” (Recognition)
