My new book is out now

You’ve got a bold vision and a strategy to achieve it! But why does your company seem to be standing still? Why is the gap between what strategy promises and what it delivers so vast and disheartening? And what to do about it?

New book

Welcome back to “Irresistible Communication”.

2

Two minutes, twice a week.

3

No nonsense advice on

leadership communication.

4

Right now, nothing is

more important than you.

5

That's the feeling that great

communicators will give you.

6

Not only in one-on-one

conversations, but also on the

7

stage and even in their writing.

8

Right now, nothing is

more important than you.

9

Which is not to be confused with:

never is anything more important.

10

The point is that right in

this moment, nothing is.

11

These communicators let us forget

that they are just as busy as we

12

are, they juggle just as many balls

as we do, and there they might have

13

sucked big time and their lunch

break is already one hour late.

14

But right now?

15

None of that matters.

16

They are super busy, sure.

17

But right in this moment,

they are also fully present.

18

That doesn't mean that they necessarily

leave everything aside for us.

19

We're not the center of

their focus all the time.

20

In fact, they might not

even have much time for us.

21

But when they do, when they choose to

spend their time with us, they are fully

22

committed and present in the moment.

23

Sometimes, you could even say

that the feeling is not so much

24

one of being the most important

person in their world right now.

25

It can almost feel like you're

the only one that matters.

26

Now, how focused are you on

the person you're talking to?

27

Keep lighting the path and

share this with a friend.
