ZAG NETWORK on LinkedIn: THE ART OF COMMUNICATION (FOR LEADERS) Part 2 We are inundated with so… (2024)

THE ART OF COMMUNICATION (FOR LEADERS) Part 2We are inundated with so much content across our social platforms that our senses are used to paying attention for 30 seconds or less before moving our gaze on something new and shiny. Hence the massive success of short form content on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. We are in the Attention Economy!I have given talks where I see the audience looking at the handphone screen as soon as I uttered a word. Pro tip. Start every talk, speech, announcement with an attention grabbing headline. Shock value is best! DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?! Then launch into your content.EXAMPLES:AI is going to drive humans into extinction!We are DOOMED.AI will find a cure for cancer in 5 years!Self driving cars will create massive unemployment!Will you board an airplane with no pilots? Self driving cars, why not self flying planes?Trump will be President again!HOLY SHEEEET!Once you have their attention, to keep the audience engaged, don't read off a script or read verbatim what is on your deck. My decks are always with white fonts against a black background. No flashing lights, no distractions. Just the topic I wish to discuss in CAPS.Then it's down to storytelling. Building up the story, weaving in facts with wit and humour. People want to be entertained and learn at the same time. Ask the audience for action (example: show of hands how many people agree/disagree….). Storytelling is an art. The good news is you will get better with practice. Major religions today are based around stories that have been told and passed down from generations to generations over thousands of years. If you need inspiration for story telling, google 1001 Arabian nights. Best story about storytelling ever!Part 3 is coming ..... stay tuned (always leave your audience thirsting for MORE)!I share info on #leadership#AI & #Web3, if that is of interest, connect with me on Linkedin or ZAG Network, a social network I co-founded.

Do you know what the deadliest of deadly sins on social media is?Well, I committed it this year, so I'll tell you 👀👇It's this: Trying to be known for more than one thing 😱Pre-2023, my ONE thing was writing and storytelling. It was what I was known for. It was simple and easy.People knew what to expect of me. I knew who I was meant to show up as. Who I was meant to be.Then I took on a consulting role as the CCO of a DeFi startup back in 2021. Chief Communications Officer, that is - so, still acceptable."She's still doing writing and storytelling. It's just in a slightly different context."All was well in Social Media Land.But then, THEN, 2023 rolled around and I dipped my toe in AI and automation 🤖Developed my own AI tool using my skills from - you guessed it - writing and storytelling - AND my newfound skills from DeFi and tech. Started a creative productivity venture, targeting the optimisation of creativity in companies by harnessing the power of AI and automation 🚀And, alas, the sin had been committed. It was like there was a glitch 😵💫Like, how could this person who had always done writing and storytelling suddenly ALSO be doing tech and AI and automation and innovation?"Are you still doing writing, Synne? Or is it all AI now?"It didn't compute.Social media had an identity crisis with me, and I guess as a result I had an identity crisis with social media.Who was I meant to show up as now?I don't know what it is that makes social media so addicted to one-dimensionality. God knows we're not one-dimensional IRL.When you describe someone you know, do you describe them with a single characteristic or trait? I don't. And yet, on here, we must pick something - ONE thing - and strive to be known for that. Which I think is a real shame. It means that cool sides, amazing sides, surprising sides to people remain hidden 🫣In the shadows. And we potentially miss out on the most important thing on here - connecting with real people in all their multidimensional glory.#Storytelling#Connections#Mindfulness#SocialMedia #PersonalGrowth#ProfessionalDevelopment

Failure stacking is the unlock to becoming the person you desire to be.(I know this sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out!)In Dan Koe's latest YouTube video (link in comments), he shared his idea of the well-paid generalist & how having multiple interests makes you the niche.Leveraging technological advancements like no-code software and AI, you can focus on building an audience based on your uniqueness rather than creating content around one specific skill in the #creatoreconomy.You become a part of the audience's lives rather than just a subject matter expert.To find your unique mix, you must get out of your comfort zone & fail!Failure doesn't necessarily mean it's the end of the road. It can be a crossroads at the moment & give you the skills you need to be prepared for your next big leap. The one that's truly meant for you.Jump out and fail by pushing yourself to start a project aligned with your interests. You're bound to run into issues, but you'll learn so much during the process.I have an idea of the project I want to start.How about you?♻ If you agree, please reshare with your network. I'd greatly appreciate it.I write about #mediaandtech, #marketing, and #mindset. Follow me for more content like this!#JustinMinute #valuecreator #personalbrand #socialmedia #contentcreation
