- Culture is the sum of all the conversations in a given business (or a family, church, city, and even country).
Don’t say what you want to say, say what your audience needs to hear
Focusing on what the audience needs – what matters to them – is a guaranteed way to make a message simpler
- At the heart of my presentation is a simple idea…’ Whatever ends up in the ‘…’ is usually clear, simple, and relevant, and if you use that as the ‘anchor’ for your message, then you’ll find it easy to keep it simple
Change those conversations and you’ll change the culture
Changing does not take time
- Humans don’t change because we tell them to
- Change takes courage
- Acknowledge the coherence between processes, tools, ways of working, policies, reward strategies, formal and informal comms, budgets, priorities, plans, strategies, practices, etc.
