On this episode of THRIVE — sponsored by E2M Solutions— Kelly and Ben Guttmann discuss how we may be making our messaging unnecessarily complicated for our audience and how to address that.

Ben Guttmann and I cover these points and more:

  • How we experience fluency in messaging as consumers;
  • The difference between complicated and complex;
  • Five design principles to achieve the goal of fluent messaging; and
  • Focusing on benefits, not features, to resonate with an audience.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes of THRIVE to get practical tips on becoming a conscious leader, growing your agency, and more. Thanks for listening, and I’d love to hear your takeaways!
