Davis Martin:

Davis Martin: Group: AugustPersona: Rae, Ken and RogerRae's dilemma involves her professional identity

What should Rae do to maintain her Persona?focus on her past activities rather than on her present feelings.She should not be completely carried away in her to be or not to be stateShe Should be composed and calmIf she prefers not to work on chambers assignment, she does not have to talk about these preferences and her beliefs as the first line of her argument

Audience: Ken and RogerRae must develop arguments for two audiences Raes Primary Audience is Ken But Roger Corbett is also involvedIf Rae does not talk to Roger herself, she will help Ken significantly if she develops arguments that he can use with Roger.Rae's main challenge

What Reasoning should I give to Ken that he will find convincingRaes arguments should be based on

Ken's character and his business goalsDeciding which points to include, which to omitHow to sequence those pointsShe should come up with a convincing argument for her primary audience, KenRaes possible convincing argumentRae is most likely to succeed if she goes beyond arguing that she is not the best person for the job

She may also say it would be against the best interests of the Davis-Martin for her to accept the assignment, especially if the Chamber learns that she is supporting Pat Sitwell's bill.If necessary, Rae could also argue that she has strong ethical objections that will interfere with her capacity to do the job. This argument is likely to be more damaging to her professional persona because it may suggest that her commitment to her firm is limited.

Communication Channel Choice

Should I fax him first or talk to him? or should I wait for Fridays meeting to talk to him face to face?If she chooses FAXTone and a persuasive sequence of points will be important Rae will also need to think carefully about how to end her message Should she leave the problem for Ken to solve? Or should part of her message be to offer a solution?

Should I tell Roger about Rae's political involvements, or should I focus solely on the qualities of the individual who Davis-Martin selects to replace her?

I have to persuade this client to accept a replacement for Rae
