This groundbreaking guide will help anyone to deliver clear, persuasive messages that win hearts, minds, and budgets. Supercommunicator explains how to: ? Distill details and data into big ideas ? Deliver meaning to audiences ? Use storytelling to captivate and educate ? Humanize content to make complicated ideas more tangible ? Layer harder ideas on top of easier ideas ? Strip away complex language, jargon, and acronyms ? Use analogies to explain unfamiliar areas ? Master new digital modes of expression ?
