Effective Communication Is More Than Big Words
Do you want to be a better communicator?
As a novice reporter for an international news wire service, I was told to write at a level that someone with an 8th-grade education could understand. And if I conveyed my message concisely and clearly, it was more likely that my news stories would show up in newspapers and be broadcast by radio and TV stations around the globe. It worked.
It’s a lesson I’ve carried with me throughout my entire career in journalism and media relations. It wasn’t that I was “dumbing down” my message but rather using effective language and connections to reach my audiences—whether they were learning about something for the first time or longtime experts.
And we can use these “tools” to improve YOUR writing, as well as your written and speaking presentations.
I can help you get your critical points across to every type of audience, even a hostile one. I’ve helped wonky experts shine in national media interviews, in appearances at conferences large and small, and before Congress.
