Why Your Best Ideas Are Dying in Translation
A sixth-grader once stood before his class to deliver a speech about the neutron bomb. He had done his research. He knew the facts. He spoke clearly. But something was missing-something that would haunt him for decades and eventually shape his entire career. He had shared information, but he hadn't made a point. This distinction, seemingly subtle, is the difference between communication that lands and communication that evaporates the moment you stop talking. Most professionals believe they're making points when they present, email, or speak in meetings. They're not. They're sharing topics, themes, or catchphrases-and wondering why their brilliant ideas never gain traction.
