Is there a way to increase your chances of getting what you want in communications?

It is a natural, human desire for people to strive for more, even for those who appear to have everything they need. Unfortunately, getting what you want isn’t as easy as a simple method or tangible skill. Our CEO, Jessica Chen, provides her insight into this topic and how to use strategic communications skills to get what you want. 

The harsh reality is that most people are preoccupied with their own concerns. Health, family, work, and life are a few of the many things people are so focused on that they honestly don’t have time to think about others’ desires. So the initial step to getting what you want from someone is to understand them first, and what they want. Putting their concerns/ideas first and playing a critical role in making it happen for them will in turn benefit you. 

The main takeaway from this? Lead with what other people care about first and then see how you can contribute to this. 

Have you tried any other methods in getting what you want? Please feel free to share your experiences and approaches, below.
