How do we land a message with someone not ready to hear it?

Send us Fan MailOne of the challenges for anyone trying to raise awareness of the climate emergency or the myriad social issues facing humanity is, how do you share this knowledge with people not ready to listen to it? And people are not ready to hear it for many reasons. It’s hard and depressing, it will force them to change everything, the fear of eco-anxiety is strong, facing it shatters a beautiful reality, and so much more. It’s not an easy challenge to overcome. But if we have any chance of waking the world up to the multiple crisis’s we face, we have to ensure our communication skills are so good, we can break through and gain attention. To help me understand the psychology of communication, I reached out to my friend, Dr. Frank Hagenow CSP. A psychologist, author and professional speaker, Frank understands this better than anyone I know. I hope his ideas help you in further finetuning your communication to help you deliver your message. Communication is such a critical skill right now. I’ll invite more experts on to help with this critical pillar in the climate fight. Please note, we had some issues with Frank’s audio, which could be lessened but not fixed. The bird noise is definitely me. I have a ‘singer’ that visits every day. It’s lovely. To get in touch with Dr. Frank Hagenow CSPHis book Leadership Without Mind Games: How to Win People with Ethics and Decency on Amazon Website https://linktr.ee/drhagenow   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-hagenow-csp/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXtHihce9UQlu4OepOtNxw Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Dr.FrankHagenow/Twitter https://twitter.com/DrFrankHagenow To get in touch with me, Andrea EdwardsWebsites https://andreatedwards.com/ and https://uncommon-courage.com/ My book Uncommon Courage, An Invitation mybook.to/UncommonCourageAnd the workbook mybook.to/UncommonCourageActionAnd my Facebook Group Uncommon Courage https://www.facebook.com/groups/442905877003333 You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
