Most people prepare their communications in the wrong way.

They start with the who, what, when and where. Who is it aimed at? What are we saying/ doing? When is it happening? Where is it happening?

Don’t do that!

Instead, start with your organisation’s values.

Values can help you decide both WHY and HOW you are communicating and these are much more important questions.

If you stick close to your values, your communications will deliver on your big picture drivers: why you exist (strategic) and how you behave (culture).

And that will help you achieve your mission and safeguard your culture way better than a load of whos, whats, whens and wheres.

You can learn more about this (and more) by signing up for my newly launched Communications Fundamentals course today.

I had a terrific time last Saturday, delivering training for the Tasmanian Leaders Program (TLP).

We spent three hours together in the Hobart Town Hall learning how to prepare for presentations and public speaking, and how to feel more confident in delivering them.

I also gave the group some tips on how to deliver an ad hoc speech with no preparation and how to answer questions for better results.

The current TLP cohort is impressive. A very connected, passionate, engaged and intelligent group of leaders. As a trainer, it doesn’t get much better.

I went through TLP back in 2018 and it changed my life. No exaggeration. I left my unsatisfying job and started my own values-based communications business, Leigh Arnold Communications.

So for the past seven years, I’ve been working exclusively with values-based clients on meaningful projects that make Tasmania a better place. It’s such a joy. I love this work.

And TLP played a huge role in giving me the courage and tools to make that change in my professional life.

I’d encourage you to sign up for TLP. You’ve got one week until applications close for the 2026 Tasmanian Leaders Program, on 1 October.

If you want to make a change in your career and/ or improve your leadership skills, this is THE program in Tasmania. Do it! https://lnkd.in/gcwHMikJ

Oh, and if you want any values-based communications services, including comms training, check out my website and get in touch. I’d love to help you.

Hobart is a delightful place to work. Today I delivered internal communications training in the Treasury building on Murray Street, for the Department of Treasury and Finance.

The complex is made up of numerous heritage-listed buildings including the oldest Supreme Court in Australia, built in 1824.

The people who work for Treasury are charming too. So polite and thoughtful. And very punctual (which I love).

I'm sharing this not as an expert chairperson, but as an expert comms person. (And someone who has suffered through many dreadful meetings!)

There is a free factsheet with more tips. If you want that, just email me on [email protected]

And if you or your team want training in this, or any other comms challenge, just email me or call me (0409 019 939) to discuss.

Happy chairing!!

Do you find this post egotistical? Or annoying? 🤮 😖

I get it. There is so much humble-bragging out there, and this post feels like that because it contains a LOT of positive comments about me.

No one likes a self-centered boaster 😒

But this post is not about me. It's about how my clients responded to the services I gave them.

This post is about my clients. And it's about YOU 💖

I'm sharing this feedback for one simple reason: I want YOU to know that other (nice, genuine, kind) people got a lot out of the training and so there's a good chance that you and your team would get a lot from it as well.

This post is for you.
And the training is for you too.
