When we’re communicating for action or change, the rules are different from just telling people stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change is hard. We’re asking people to invest effort and negotiate risk. We know they’re liable to resist any form of pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what might work? Here are 8 rules and some tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll immediately notice that change<\/em> communication is likely to be more fun and interesting than inform<\/em> communication!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a 2 page practice sheet “Communication for Change”. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you find it useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
