Personal impact flows from clarity about who we are, what we stand for, where we place our priorities, when we choose to act, and understanding why we have a tendency to respond in a particular way. Crucial to personal impact is knowing ourselves and our preferences well, knowing how we contribute effectively, and knowing what our end goals are.
Personal impact is about delivering outcomes. However elegant our attempt at personal impact, our impact may have been irrelevant if there is no outcome. A key starting point is the outcome you want to achieve after considering realistically, and boldly, what might be possible.
Personal impact stems from getting the tone and the timing right. The strength of the argument is only one consideration. What matters is that you pitch the tone right so that others believe your arguments and are open to be persuaded by them. It is also about getting the timing right so that your views are expressed at a moment when others are most likely to be receptive. Personal impact is occasionally about forcefulness but more often, it is about focus and the fine-tuning of arguments to fit a particular context. Personal impact often flows from patience and persistence. Adaptability and agility are just as important as deliberate action.
