Package your Expertise: The ”Presenter Problem”
• We know too much about the subject/concept/innovation to understand how another person will experience it
• We do not tune the message to the receiver
• It is not what you say … it is what the receiver hears
• Shift from presenting your expertise to packaging your expertise to different audiences, with the goals to:• Create urgency
• Get “their” attention
• Keep “their” attention
21
Communication: Creating Urgency = Attention!
It is not (initially) about the information!
Without attention, information goes NOWHERE
It is not what you say, it what the listener hears
