Think about a situation in which you had to communicate as a leader, either in your personal or professional life.

What type of communication network did you utilize (face-to-face, social media, group messaging app, etc.)?

How did you adapt your message to the audience and make it relevant to their needs?

Did you use any of the seven principles of persuasive communication discussed in the prompt (credibility, adapting to the listener, selling the benefits, heavy-impact language, anecdotes, data, and minimizing language errors)? If so, which ones and why were they effective or ineffective in your situation?

How could you have improved your communication in that situation and made it more impactful?

In what ways do you plan to apply what you learned from this reflection in future situations as a leader?
