In this Exponential 2012 podcast, Kem Meyer speaks about communication that foster buy-in and teamwork. Do you ever notice your ideas are met with lackluster reactions from those around you? Are you having trouble leading change-even with the brightest people, best ideas and virtuous intentions? It's been said knowing how people grow, does not mean we know how to grow them. It's tricky learning how to work with others on the same team. And, even in "Kingdom work" we often meet defensiveness and experience defeat. The candid truth? Most of us are ineffective because we are pushing our own agenda-our way. Under pressure to demonstrate results or validate our cause, we have the tendency to skip crucial "soft skills" of our job. Discover a few ingredients for getting buy-in and motivating others we work with (staff, peers, supervisors and volunteers).

In this Exponential 2012 podcast, Kem Meyer speaks about communicating beyond bulletins, brochures, and brake sales. Every organization, especially the church, has to get over themselves and realize effective communications is really about "releasing the right response" not "sending the right message." People are not looking for more information-they are looking for ways to survive too much information. Pastors, creative professionals, ministry leaders or volunteers part of the church should help people find those answers. Instead they end up adding to the confusion. Smart communication systems that help people connect with Christ and each other don't have to be complicated.
