This PPT slide, part of the 97-slide Change Enablement Workshop Presentation PowerPoint presentation, titled "Advocating Protocols" outlines a structured approach for effective communication in decision-making contexts. It is divided into 2 main columns: "What to do" and "What to say." This format provides actionable guidance for executives and teams aiming to enhance their advocacy skills.

In the "What to do" section, the emphasis is on transparency and clarity in thought processes. The first point encourages individuals to articulate their reasoning by revealing their assumptions and the data that led to their conclusions. This step is crucial for fostering a shared understanding among team members. The second point stresses the importance of making reasoning explicit, which helps in demystifying complex ideas and facilitates better engagement. Publicly testing assumptions is also highlighted, promoting a culture of open dialogue and collaborative exploration. Lastly, acknowledging areas of uncertainty in one's thinking is presented as a strength rather than a weakness, inviting input and fostering a more inclusive environment.

The "What to say" section complements the actions outlined previously by providing specific phrases that can be used in discussions. These phrases encourage clarity in communication and invite feedback, which is vital for refining ideas and gaining buy-in from stakeholders. For example, stating "Here’s what I think and here’s how I got there" sets a clear foundation for discussion. The inclusion of questions like "What do you think about what I just said?" demonstrates an openness to dialogue, which can lead to more robust decision-making.

Overall, this slide serves as a practical guide for leaders seeking to enhance their communication effectiveness, ultimately driving better outcomes in their organizations.
