Blog Four For Leadership Class - A Little More About What I Heard - Reprise

Clear Communication Can Take Initiative

        Get the point across once and you will get the average amount of people who respond after being told once;  get the point across multiple times and you will get the average amount of people responding to your message that multiple times will achieve.

        I can use this in my service - repeat the vision again, again, and again until the volunteers catch the vision.  We can hold orientation meetings and send out multiple emails to new recruits so that they will catch and keep our vision in there hearts.  When I write the vision I will make sure I incorporate involving the voice of the people.  I will address concerns I know my audience may have, and I will propose solutions to all their potential fears and misunderstandings.
        With regard to communication in general, I can ask questions in my emails to student volunteers that allow them to voice additional ideas and concerns that have developed as a result of past service in the Utah Healing Arts program.
