The Importance of Being Empathetic with Messages
Early in my career, I made the mistake of presenting my ideas without considering the context or needs of the audience. I would confidently offer solutions without truly understanding the dynamics or asking for input. However, through experiences of presenting to skeptical groups and receiving feedback, I have realized the importance of asking questions and recognizing the expertise of the audience. Now, I approach presentations with humility and acknowledge that my ideas are not definitive. Instead, I provide frameworks and principles that can guide decision-making. I have learned that it is crucial to highlight the audience as the ultimate decision-makers.
