Communicating with Executives: Brevity

In this episode we cover tips and a framework for effective and economic communication with apex leaders and other executives. Less may not always be more, but it might be all you get to spend with a decision-maker. In this week’s podcast I expand why brevity is important when talking with executives (and other people with high-demands on their time and who treasure their time). There are more factors at play than most people realize. Too often when someone learns they have to present or brief to an executive anxiety moves in like dark storm clouds. That’s the unknown which can be beat back by gaining knowledge and adopting these practices. * What is brevity? * Tips and words of caution when interacting with apex leaders and other executives * What the 3/50/500 framework is, why it’s important, and how to use it * Chad covers select questions from our Q&A list. When an opportunity to interact with an executive is presented to you, be ready before that time comes. A great way to become more comfortable with how executives communicate is, when possible, to treat your time and interactions in a similar fashion.
