Communication(effective) is the Key

From Overlooked to Impactful: 5 Stages of Executive Communication.
You’ve done the work. Solved real problems. But when you present to leaders or speak up in meetings, the feedback stings:

“Be more crisp. Be more concise. Make it impactful.”

The issue isn’t your knowledge—it’s how you communicate it.

Here’s how to structure your message so it lands with power:

DATA – Cut the Noise
→ Ask: “What does my audience actually need?”
→ Share only what moves the needle—not everything you know.

SORTED – Group for Clarity
→ Organize into 3 key themes. (Brains love threes.)
→ Makes your message stick.

ARRANGED – Lead with the Punchline
→ Start with the outcome, not the backstory.
→ Decision-makers want headlines, not a documentary.

VISUALIZED – Simplify for Speed
→ One clear insight per slide/message.
→ Clarity beats complexity every time.

STORYTOLD – Make It Matter
→ Follow this flow: ✔ What’s happening → ✔ Why it matters → ✔ What we should do.

Master this, and you won’t just be heard—you’ll be seen as a strategic leader.
