Communicate clearly using Simple Soundbites.

Traditional ways of public speaking coaching just doesn't work for a busy executive's schedule.That's why I built Simple Soundbites.It's speech writing system that turns your big ideas into 2-minute messages people can remember and repeat.It's like a musician writing a hit song that sticks in your head for weeks on end.The Beatles didn't write a new song for every concert they played. They played a collection of their greatest hits, adding or subtracting songs based on their time on stage.- 15 minutes (5 songs)
- 45 minutes (9 songs)
- 3 hours (30 songs)This same process works for interviews, panels, and presentations.You don't need a polished TED talk every time you stand on stage. You need a collection of your greatest soundbites that you can draw on and fit to any situation or conversation you find yourself in.I call this a Comms Vault.It allows you to just show up, without hours of prep, confident that every word you say is moving your business forward.

Q: How is this different than talking points?
We design for contribution, not consumption. Most people talk at their audience which forces them into being a passive consumer or active critic. Designing for contribution means getting people to interact with your message, contributing their wisdom and knowledge, to create a stronger, more impactful message.
