Her Ambitious Career
Ep 91 - 'Want to Persuade Your Stakeholders? Lean On Their Emotions First', with guest Selma Masood, Principal at SM & Co Solicitors
Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for corporate women who want to build their corporate profiles and confidently get promoted into senior leadership roles.
In this episode I am talking with lawyer Selma Masood about her tips and techniques to help you become a more persuasive communicator.
When it comes to personal branding, how you communicate and how you influence and persuade other stakeholders is deeply important.
We communicate to share our ideas and build on others' ideas. We communicate too to inspire action in others and to do that, it is essential that how we speak moves those around us into action.
Selma, a lawyer used to persuading a courtroom, shares these incredible tips on:
- Showing your passion for a topic by using vocal variety and gestures
- Building trust by using warmth to engage your audience
- Making an emotional connection: Selma shares her 'Problem + Story + Relevance' formula to demonstrate how she tries to persuade in Court, make a story seem relatable and help the audience feel a certain way
- Effective body positioning when standing and speaking on a stage
Quote from this episode:
“Use your body to be more persuasive when you speak. Take up the space! If you're on a stage, move about. Use gestures to emphasise your points. You want to be engaging and create memorable content to result in an action.” (Selma Masood, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
