MODULE 7: STAYING ATTUNED WHILE LEADING

Reading the Room in Real Time

Video Duration: 3 minutes

What You'll Learn:

• How to deliver your message AND read how it's landing
• What facial expressions and body language tell you
• How to adjust in real time:
  • Confused? Add an example
  • Skeptical? Add more evidence
  • Defensive? Validate feelings first
  • Engaged? Keep momentum
• Why attunement is the difference between monologue and dialogue

Key Concepts:

• Presence (you're not just delivering, you're in conversation)
• Flexibility (you adjust based on feedback)
• Warmth (you care whether they understand)
• Competence (you deliver skillfully)

Exercise: Observe your next real conversation

• Notice their responses
• Did you adjust based on what you saw?
• What would have shifted if you had?
