Steve Woodruff is the author of the book Clarity Wins (and the upcoming book Fueled by Clarity). "Steve’s style made the lessons memorable - his mental shortcuts, quick lists, humor, and examples ensured that months later, we still recall the learnings and can apply them easily." -Steph Dreyer, Marketing Director, MetLife The team was most struck by the idea of memory darts, and the need to fight against ambiguous language (it’s harder than it sounds). "After Steve’s training, my team re-assessed the clarity of our materials and began using proven tools and techniques to improve them. My team was experiencing this tension every day, and we were determined to find a better way. "I work in a complex industry, so it’s incredibly challenging to craft communications that are clear enough to be impactful and yet comprehensive enough to relay the full message. While that book will be published in the fall, my workshops based on the Clarity Fuel Formula are available now to any group that wants to upskill their people. My upcoming book, Fueled by Clarity, provides the framework for applying brain-friendly, human-centric communication skills. Efficiency and accuracy take root and grow.

The other is important, but isn't currently addressed by the Clarity framework. I'm going to stick with words for the time being. Non-verbal (body language, facial expression, gestures, etc.). ![]() Roughly speaking, that brain is going to receive (& deliver) human communication via two "wavelengths" It's all siloed, and that creates confusion and inefficiency.Īlso, it's impossible to remember and apply all those disparate schemes.īut let's boil it down to a very simple baseline: what is the common denominator in communication? I propose that one is the most vital, and applies to the entire human race: The human brain A corporation may have this email recipe. Right now, we have a vast array of communications schemes, programs, acronyms, and applications. ![]() Unless we have common concepts, and terms, and meaning - a useful and practical framework - we are inevitably going to miscommunicate. Alignment comes from shared practices and protocols
