Communications - Communicating To External Stakeholders
A communicator’s ability to influence is
largely determined by the Credibility assigned her/him by an audience.
In terms of communicating orally or in written form to external stakeholders, the
preceding discussions of audience, organizing ideas and using evidence are instrumental in
establishing one’s credibility.
For example, using good evidence and
explaining it to an audience will enhance your perceived competence.
Your trustworthiness will be assigned based on how honest you are when
you speak and write and how well you communicate sincerity in relation to your
audiences. Demonstrating a genuine concern for your audiences will also increase
this element of credibility.
When you speak confidently and assertively and inspire others
with your energy and words, you will be perceived as dynamic. How well you
put messages together and how well you communicate ideas will be assessed carefully,
particularly by external audience who may need to rely on the information you provide for
their well being or livelihood.
