Aim and content
Imagine if, in less than a minute, you could:
• Get to the point
• Deliver a clear message
• Summarise a complex topic

In this workshop you’ll learn two simple frameworks that make all that possible.

Whether you are talking to other students, professors, or colleagues in industry, the clearer your message the more successful you will be.

The frameworks you’ll learn will help you have clearer conversations, write shorter emails, give quicker updates, and communicate with more impact.

Join us and you’ll leave with the confidence your messages will be received and understood.


About the speaker
Chris Fenning is the best-selling author of multiple award-winning workplace communication books, including, The First Minute.
In the 20 years he spent working and leading in some of the world’s largest companies, he saw people waste time, get stuck in the details, and go in the wrong directions. Usually because their communication wasn’t clear.
He has taught at the Maastricht School of Business and Economics, and is a contributor to industry publications including Harvard Business Review and The Fast Company.
Chris also trains employees and executives at a range of organisations including JP Morgan, NATO, and Google. Find out more at www.chrisfenning.com.
