“As an audience it seems we’re as good as saying, “I’ll pay attention to your idea if you…
* are already being taken seriously in some way
* have found your place (professionally or personally)
* believe strongly in something relevant to your idea
* are connecting (with ideas, with people) in meaningful ways
* are finding ways to be useful in the world
* are finding ways to achieve more of what you value
* have developed mastery and control
* are participating in interesting things
* and are radiating love and acceptance for self and others.”
Your chosen audience will have three or four things on that list they value most in their own lives. And because they do value those things so highly, they’ll be looking for those signals from you.”

“The majestic whale travels the seven seas piping its unique song in the hopes of finding its tribe. The other whales in the sea can hear the solitary whale. But the song to them is foreign and unfamiliar. They’re not resonating on the same frequencies and so, it seems, there can be no reciprocity. The creature carries on, searching high and low for a sign of recognition and response.”

“Sending resonant signals is also different from merely adding to a cultural echo chamber. That’s because of the unique flavor of your own authority and experience, origins and obstacles. All the why’s you’ve addressed in terms of author, audience, topic and timing. Delineated in these ways, your big, generous idea, located at the edges of the possible, becomes a complementary addition to a rich and harmonic symphony. Complementary yet undeniably distinctive.”
