CONCEPT MAPFrom information to decision-ready communication
Professional communication starts with the decision the audience needs to make
CORE FACTS · SAME IN EVERY MODE
Good market communication prioritizes relevance over completeness.
The same facts should be framed differently for a trader, client or investment committee.
A clear headline should communicate the core message before supporting detail.
Decision-useful communication links information to implication and action.
BeginnerTeaching style changes, knowledge does not.
Do not begin by repeating everything you know. Start with the one thing the listener needs to understand, then explain why it matters.
