1️⃣ Jen’s Meta-level Advice: Be curious

One of the biggest takeaways that stuck with me since speaking with Jen is that at the meta-level, her advice to us is pretty simple: be curious.

In general, communicating with impact means communicating with respect, and a great way to do that is to start from a place of humility and curiosity.

In other words, don’t assume you have all the answers. Ask questions. Then ask more questions!

Showing that you’re curious demonstrates that you respect the other person’s perspective, and that you are open to learning. It’s an incredibly effective mindset that can ultimately help you be a more impactful communicator.

2️⃣ Impact Starts With Purpose

According to Jen, impact is the ability to get someone else to take action. This could be in a business context, a personal context, or in a community context.

Regardless of the context, making an impact starts with one thing: PURPOSE.

Jen recommends using introductions as an opportunity to clarify the purpose and value of everyone in the room. If you’re a leader, ensure everyone on your team understands their purpose. And if you’re meeting with a client, make sure your client understands the purpose of everyone in the room.
