Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders Is the Devil in the Detail?

Is the Devil in the Detail?

Devil in the Detail
 
In the early stages of one’s career, typically you’re expected to be “all over the detail”.

After all…

You’re close to the coal-face.

You’re learning fast.

You’re needing to master your craft/s.

The trouble is, when it comes to #communication upwards (internally or externally) being “all over the detail” won’t serve you.

Listeners - no matter how smart and experienced they are - will find it too complex, too long, too laborious or just too dull.

Brutal I know.

But it’s true.

Step back from the detail.

Identify the 2-3 most important points/insights/devts your audience needs to take away.

Build your content from there.

Believe me, your MD, C-suite Exec, Manager, Director or client will thank you for it.
 

Working with Simon really changed both my work and my academic life... building and inspiring confidence in speaking publicly as well as understanding how to build a message to deliver. Be that a business powerpoint presentation or an academic argument in a multi thousand word document.

I would recommend Simon to any individual looking to grow their skills and confidence...
