This is why we do what we do. We received this email from a recent Communicate To Influence grad...

"I had the pleasure of taking your course...It was wonderful. I was able to zip through your book, “How to Inspire….”. It was wonderful. And last month I had three presentations, one of which was emceeing an awards ceremony. The feedback was wonderful. All of the presentations went well; and, while preparing, I was sure to remind myself of several Decker recommendations, specifically eye contact, home base, and pausing.

Also, I used the Decker Grid for one of my presentations. The final presentation varied from the original, but I thought you’d enjoy seeing my initial rough draft (attached). The Grid was certainly a benefit and reading the book helped cement several concepts about it.

Net, net, I wanted to thank you all and hope this puts a little wind in your sails. Kudos to the Decker Team…you rock, and keep making the world a better place."

That was two days of training for big and lasting impact. What are you waiting for? Better communication happens here.

Reorgs and restructuring are breeding grounds for bad communication. It's mostly because of the fact that there's just not enough of it. As George Bernard Shaw said: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” What follows is misalignment, confusion and wasted resources.

Use fewer words! We’ve all heard that less is more, but it’s so dang hard to do with our communications. Since it’s grad season, check out this pithy 5-minute, high-impact commencement speech by , Kellogg’s 2022 Professor of the Year (and Decker alum!).
