Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – Made to StickEpisode 259 of The HaltingWinter Podcast
Ever leave a meeting absolutely convinced your message was crystal clear, only to find out no one remembers it two weeks later? The problem isn't attention. It's stickiness.
In this episode, Seth Winterhalter translates the insights from Chip and Dan Heath's Made to Stick to public sector realities, showing why even brilliant ideas die when buried under complexity. From city hall presentations to community engagement plans, he explores the six traits that make ideas memorable—Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional, and Stories—and why mastering them can turn your communication into culture.
