Communicating badly, on purpose?
• Pretending, Hiding, Impressing? Is more detail better?
• Example Q: “Does our Trauma Product have the latest stroke
definition?”
– A1: “Currently, there is a project being led by Janette, working
with a variety of stakeholders across the business including
Pricing, Claims and Underwriting to review the current medical
definitions for both in force and new business in line with the new
Code of Conduct.”
– A2: “No, not yet.”

Just three things:
Swans
Content Delivery “The suspense is terrible.
I hope it will last.”
Oscar Wilde
![Page 42: Plenary 3 –‘Talking the Talk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042907/6269f2b00664a875ef7952f6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Swans
(Underinvested)
• Stakeholder Wants and Need
“If you would persuade,
think of interest, not of
reason”.
Benjamin Franklin
![Page 43: Plenary 3 –‘Talking the Talk](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042907/6269f2b00664a875ef7952f6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Content
(An overdeveloped strength)
• Less = More
• Also:
– SWAN’s
– Structure
– Empathy
– Intimacy
• It isn’t about proving
things (except when it is)
“People with poor marks on
intimacy get characterised
as Technicians.”
David H. Maister: The
Trusted Advisor

Delivery
• Breathe
• Prepare
• Be helpful not clever
• Practice
• Warm up
• Slow down
• Manage your nerves
• Breathe
“If I can’t hear you at the
back, why did I come? More
to point, why did you?”
