You\u00a0<em>have to<\/em>\u00a0do laundry, mow the grass, pay the bills, start that diet, install that transmission, go to the dentist, prepare your taxes. That mostly sounds awful. Why would anyone want to join you, if they didn\u2019t\u00a0<em>have to<\/em>?<br \/>\nMy childhood friend Tom Sawyer<em>\u00a0had to<\/em>\u00a0whitewash the fence, but Tom was clever, and he concocted a plan. Tom made the task of whitewashing the fence irresistible to his friends and received help, lots of help. And though Twain\u2019s classic fiction didn\u2019t take it to this level, I reckon old Tom had a fun time himself once he got his friends on board.<br \/>\nWhat makes a strong leader? What makes a successful salesperson? What makes a great parent? Why do companies hire professionals to record their phone messages and advertisements? Why does Cindy\u2019s class at the local fitness center leave you feeling inspired? \u00a0<strong>Communication.<\/strong> It\u2019s not the only reason, but positive communication is a key element to unifying, inspiring, and rallying people.<br \/>\nHow can you implement positive communication to rally others to join you on your\u00a0<em>have <\/em>tos<em>?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Energy:<\/strong> Bring it! Be confident, prepared, and excited.

There should be cheese at the end of the maze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every day, we have opportunities to affect how our communications are received, and by doing so, affect the response. Using energy, tone, challenge, and benefit, you can motivate people, (including yourself!) to act. While it may not be practical to use all of these at once, and using the same one all the time may lose its impact, with a bit of practice these elements of effective communication will prove helpful in the workplace, at home, with customers, with co-workers, with employees, with spouses, with children, with friends, and just about anyone else you interact with.<br \/>\nControlling the tone of your communication is not a tactic or gimmick. It is not a spin or a pitch. It\u2019s about maintaining a positive attitude and utilizing effective communication strategies. You can do this &#8211; and it\u2019s going to be great.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2815 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/AVA_BStern.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/em><em>Got a project that feels more like a\u00a0<\/em>have to<em> than a want to?
