Show Notes:
Hey there, IMPACT Driver!
Before we dive in, I wanted to let you know that the IMPACT Inner Circle Membership program is undergoing a big upgrade and you can get on the wait list now to be the first to know when the new membership site is open for registration PLUS get some great bonuses only for wait listers.
Okay. Let's dive into today's episode! Have you ever been in a status meeting where you had to provide a report to your executives? You’re about halfway through this meeting and they are on page 14 in the bottom right-hand corner stuck on some piece of data. You can’t get them to come back up and focus where you need them to be. They’re stuck, right? They’re drilling down into these details of this report, they’re asking you all types of questions, and you’re thinking to yourself, “This isn’t even relevant to what I need from you. I need some answers. I need some help on something. I need a decision. I need you to take action,” and they’re stuck on page 14. The key to project communications even your sponsor will love is knowing what to say, when to say it, and how to say it so that you keep your entire project team moving forward.
Check out this week's podcast episode to learn:
