1. Have a message that's worth being heard.
2. Consider concerns and language of the recipient.
3. Speak up! But don't be too loud.
4. Understand when to say it.
5. Switch the medium. 
6. Don't overwhelm with choices.
7. Be brief.
8. Follow up.
9. Find an ally.
10. Give first, without expecting to receive.
