You want to not just share your message, but have your message taken seriously and acted upon so that your best contributions don&#8217;t wither inside you, but actually are translated into action. If this is you, you must learn how to clearly articulate your point of view and communicate persuasively. Persuasive communication is one of the fundamental skills of elevating your personal profile and building a strong personal brand. So how do you do it?<\/p>\n<p>One of the core strategies you can employ today to help you be a more effective communicator (and in so doing really raise your public profile) is to stop talking and topics, but begin expressing your bold opinion and adopting a point of view. Stop talking in generalized topics that give only a fuzzy sense of what you actually think and what you&#8217;re actually here to accomplish. Start challenging yourself to speak in opinion and bold point of view. When you are able to articulate yourself in this manner, you have a greater impact, you strike clear lines about where you stand and you can really generate the kind of constructive conversation that drives organizations forward.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.90&#8243; global_module=&#8221;362&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#d8d8d8&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.2&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.90&#8243;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=&#8221;2em|2em|2em|2em&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#534c5b&#8221; global_module=&#8221;1138&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Mentor Kit CTA&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243;]&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;GIVE YOURSELF THE VERY STRONGEST START&lt;\/h2&gt;&lt;!&#8211; [et_pb_line_break_holder] &#8211;&gt;&lt;!&#8211; [et_pb_line_break_holder] &#8211;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;Build a solid foundation for your business, designed to give you money, time and freedom from the get-go.
