The Attack of Background Noise
Make it stop!

The Attack of Background Noise

Last week, I was on vacation in the "quiet corner" of Connecticut (Mystic/Stonington area).

And there were lots of quiet moments, walking in the woods or at uncrowded seaside spots.

But then there was this one restaurant...

Great food. Cool building. Top-shelf company. But...the noise. The background acoustics were deafening - too many people in too small a space.

Couldn't focus; and to talk, we had to nearly yell.

"May I take your order, sir?"

You know this discomfort, right? Well, it's actually how we live our daily lives - a constant and rising tide of stimuli and distraction from our screens, smartphones, co-workers, family members, the news, home/work environment...it's incredibly hard to focus.

We all live in overload. It hurts productivity. And, it's hard to earn attention with all that competition.

That's why we all must learn how to Get To The Point. It is a learnable skill, a set of simple Clarity rules and practices that will help you (and your teams) win the attention of customers, co-workers, leaders, and others.

That is the subject of my new book, The Point, which I can happily announce is NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER (Amazon or Barnes & Noble).

Brief, clear, actionable - and useful for anyone with a mouth or a keyboard!

And, for organizations, you can not only order the book for your teams, but I also deliver keynotes and workshops to guide professionals in Clarity for email, presentations, coaching, leadership, sales, marketing...every form of communication.

Distraction and noise - it's everyone's battle. I'll show you how to win!

Interested??Reach out and let's talk.
