New communication channels are constantly evolving.  So we are continually asking ourselves, "Which platform do we use? What is everyone else doing? What is the best way to manage our reputation and reach the right audience?" The first step is to start with the message, and craft communication that is meaningful, relevant and compelling to your intended audience.  Understanding how to create relevant messaging is perhaps more important than how you will communicate that message. We explore options and opportunities to remain relevant and stand out in a world that is overloaded with information and communication.  


Outcomes: 

  • Learn the importance of and what questions to ask when crafting your message
  • Discover the communication preferences of audiences, including generational differences
  • Review the channels of communication and how to determine the best channel

"I loved how Sharon brought in all the support (books, studies) to drive the message, but then put it into simple, easy to understand terms. I also enjoyed the interactive portion and direction on what we could do to implement change immediately. Often, speakers share great information, but not how to put it into action.  I think her messages work across all audiences." 


                                                             Doug Baarman, Senior Vice President, ConferenceDirect

“Sharon Andrade was the perfect choice for a speaker because of the way she engaged with the audience. She pulled the audience in and even those that typically don’t participate were fully engaged, listening and learning. She has a way of storytelling and the audience is left with take-aways that are relevant to the industry she is speaking about.”
