How To Create A Strong Team With Deirdre Breakenridge

Have you ever been so excited about an upcoming event or project? Maybe it’s Thanksgiving with the family or a new initiative at work. You burst into the room with this game changing idea and… you’re met with a less than enthusiastic team. How do you get everyone on board? How do you make sure you’re reading the room properly before diving right in to pitching your idea? Deirdre’s been helping teams communicate, connect and most importantly engage for 30+ years. She joined the Coffee With Kim crew to share her tried and true FEEL model, how to involve the naysayers (spoiler alert: pushing them out is the WORST idea), and what nonverbals to look for before pitching your big idea. If you’re looking for a way to pep up your team or communicate better with your boss this is the conversation for you. Want to skip around? 08:05 Getting off autopilot 17:18 How to get your boss to listen to you 19:03 Ways to involve the naysayers 27:30 Tips for using the FEEL model 32:00 Looking for nonverbal clusters 41:25 Speaking up at work44:00 HomeworkIf you loved this episode you should check out this episode How To Stop Living On Autopilot With Antonio NevesIf you enjoyed today’s episode, please:1.)
