Building It at Home and at Work

“As a communications professional, I know that this requires a true mastery of the topic as well as thoughtful preparation. Thank you for bringing both to our forum.”
-Lynthia Romney, Financial Women’s Association of New York
Great communication isn’t a soft skill.
It can be one of the toughest things to master and one of the most rewarding.
It’s a productivity killer and a value destroyer.
For people and brands who want to build and maintain long-lasting relationships that creating lasting value, great communication should be at the heart of strategy.
Isn’t it time you—and everyone you work with—mastered the fine art of saying what needs to be said without starting a fire?
That’s a skill we can all use more, and that’s the exact skill I’ve taught tens of thousands of high-achieving individuals over the past forty years.

Communication Is Your Biggest Hidden Asset
Relationship equity is a thing, and not enough people think about it, which is surprising considering how much it impacts a brand’s value bottom line.
Take Cadbury. When Kraft acquired them in 2010, the brand value accounted for 60% of the $19.5 billion spent.
Amazon’s sky-high customer lifetime value is directly responsible for much of its $1.6 trillion market cap.
All of that is down to great communication that builds strong customer loyalty and keeps stakeholders invested and on-side.
Get it wrong, like United Airlines did in 2017, and $1.4 billion is wiped off your market value in days.
Ouch—and all because of poor communication. Mistakes happen all the time in business, but great communication can stop mistakes turning into catastrophes.
Even without a mistake to smooth over, poor communication means missed opportunities for your brand.
If being able to communicate hurts outside the office, what’s it doing inside the office?

Poor Communication Is Expensive!
When an office turns into a communication wasteland, things get expensive, fast.
Poor communication loses 7.47 hours per employee, per week. That amounts to a sunk cost of $12,506 per employee ($66,976 salary) every year! That’s $1.2 TRILLION across all industries.
On the other hand, effective communication can boost productivity by 25%.
Great communication isn’t a “soft skill”—it’s a powerful life improver!
It’s not much better in private, either. 44% of couples say money is their biggest stress point.
Yet only 31% know enough about money to talk about it, leading to financial infidelity – and yes, that leads to all the other kinds of infidelity!
We Need to Talk…
If you want to boost productivity and create happier, more fulfilled teams, and an army of loyal customers, then straight talk delivered with authenticity and love are key.

“No one acts like you!” - My old bosses
My bosses were old school.
They couldn’t wrap their heads around a successful, authentic woman who lived life on her terms and communicated her way to the top, multiple times.
But I did.
I started working at the tender age of 12
I’ve been a contributing editor at Oprah’s O Magazine
I had a glass-ceiling-shattering career on Wall Street (back when women didn’t)
I co-founded and led a video email startup in 2008 (before video was everywhere)
I’ve spoken to over 10,000 professionals across dozens of events, charging $20,000 a talk
Sure, I’ve slowed down…
But I haven’t stopped!
My mission today is to help you to connect with other people. To show you how to leverage better communication skills that drive value and set you apart from brands that are turning to AI for all things communication.
It’s a brave new world out there, and I hate to see people miss out on opportunities because they didn’t have the right words.
