The seven secrets
• Over the last 20 years the types and styles of communication that I have found personally effective boil down to seven things.
• I am going to tell you what they are – reference to examples from my own career
1. Communicate The Big Picture
2. Simplify the complexity
• People hate unnecessary complexity.
• They want to know the detail of how they are effected – but not how everyone is affected
• So firstly communicate the big picture and then carefully target audiences with the appropriate level of detail.
3. Honesty and Clarity
4. Authenticity
5. Face to Face
6. Give audiences a voice
• Use line managers
• Understand how audiences are reacting
• Look for the golden moment
7. Measure progress
