Cutting Through
Engaging decision-makers in complex ideas
If you are an expert who needs to persuade others who do not share your technical background, this podcast is for you.
One of my biggest frustrations is seeing people with great ideas not get the traction they should.
I invite you to meet an incredible group of experts. They share how they have engaged ‘outsiders' in complex ideas. This could be others at the top, their peers, direct reports, anyone who does not share their technical expertise.
Scroll down to find actionable insights to help you cut through in your own world.
