Being Succinct Is Worth The Effort

I’ll be brief. Being succinct really takes work, but it provides value for you and your audience because your words will mean more.

Everyone at every level struggles with brevity – at board meetings, in negotiations, at team meetings – and it gets worse under pressure, when it matters even more!

My past decade of focussing on powerful leadership, powerful communication and the magic of the TED format has taught me that success requires clarity and brevity.

Successful leaders trust themselves – trusting that they communicate well – and trust their audiences – that they are smart and listen well.
