Get out of the details to craft communication that cuts through with busy people
Do you fear losing your audience's attention?
Or, worse: They pay no attention?
Communicating with extreme clarity is essential.
Stop tweaking words and sentences to craft the perfect report or email.
'Better writing' is not the solution.
It's better thinking.
Learn a repeatable strategy to clarify and convey complex ideas in any setting.
Communicating becomes easy once you have extreme clarity about the message you actually need to convey.
This requires deeply understanding your strategic context and knowing how to craft a message that lands.
I introduce top-tier consulting techniques that I learned at McKinsey and have helped executives globally to master over the past 30 years.
What you’ll learn
Learn how to structure your thinking to find and frame insightful messaging
We have a joke that the big idea is often buried at the bottom of page 47.
This typically happens because the author hasn't prioritised what they really need to achieve with that specific communication.
Many famous people have said that if you can't say it in a sentence, you don't know it. It's true.
You are also unlikely to get the response you need from a busy leader if you don't convey what matters in that single sentence.
Visualise your messaging so it literally jumps off the page.
Match the hierarchy of your messaging with the hierarchy of the formatting in your communication.
Don't just learn about how to structure your messaging. Do it! We will practice and review the results together.
