When the real challenge isn’t writing...
You have a team of strong writers with strong opinions.
Your biggest messaging problem isn’t writing.
It’s trust.
Trust that your team understands what really matters in the message
(even when they’re under pressure, rushing a deadline, or writing for five audiences at once).
Trust that your message will hold up once it reaches your multi-audience.
Trust that 5 rounds in the edit, your message still sounds like your brand.
This training fixes the system — not the people
This isn’t about writing prettier copy.
It’s about teaching your team how to create messages that:
-
Avoids Message distortion so it travels without breaking
-
Are easy to repeat and hard to misinterpret
-
Speak with one clear, decision-ready voice
-
Relatable to all your audiences
So you don’t have to translate, correct, or step in.
You can trust your team to get your message right, every time.
Start building messages that flex without breaking.
FAST framework
4 Live Sessions
Most messaging workshops focus on how to write better sentences.
This isn’t that.
F.A.S.T. is a message architecture framework designed for messages to survive the messy reality of multi-audience decision chains.
It helps leadership teams design a core message that can travel through complex organisations without losing meaning, intent, or strategic direction.
Rather than teaching teams how to write better sentences, F.A.S.T. teaches them how to design messages that survive distortion, align multiple stakeholders, and drive execution in real organisational conditions.
F.A.S.T. has been used by leadership and communication teams to prevent message drift, reduce internal misalignment, and improve the speed, clarity, and quality of decision-making.
Clients report:
-
Simpler internal buy-in
-
Fewer feedback loops
-
Reduced deal friction
-
Team alignment
Availability is limited.
I only run 6 private cohorts per quarter, and they typically book weeks in advance.

WHAT YOU GET (4×75-90 minutes)
✅ Pre-Workshop Messaging Audit
I review a sample of your team’s existing comms (from internal campaigns to external content) to uncover where meaning gets lost or diluted and what can be improved.
✅ Real-World B2B Examples
We break down real examples (yours and others’) to see how messages survive or die inside buying committees to help your team get to their own a-ha moments
✅ Tailored, company-specific, Hands-On Mini Exercises
Each session includes short, practical activities your team can apply instantly — from rewriting exercises to clarity drills.
DAY 1: FRAME IT: Clarity Layer
By Day 1 you'll know how to lock in your key message that protects against misframing at first contact
✅ What’s the key message your audience needs to remember?
✅ How to identify and define the one idea, that must survive.
DAY 2: ALIGN IT: Human Layer
By Day 2 you'll know how to translate your messaging into your audience's world and give them the language that fits their world
✅ Adapt the messages to audience filters without diluting the core idea.
✅ Understand the complexities of your multi-audience and what matters to them
DAY 3: SIMPLIFY IT: Resilient Risk Layer
By Day 3 you'll know how to Design messaging for the journey and remove objections before risk teams do
✅ Make the message feel safe to repeat and hard to misinterpret.
✅ Remove what won’t survive and strip out ambiguity, objections, and unnecessary complexity.
DAY 4: TRAVEL IT: Filter Layer
By Day 4 you'll know how to validate and test your message to equip it to survive the retelling
✅ Audit your messages so it holds across fragmented attention and second-hand retellings.
✅ Design so that it works in third-space contexts — slides, Slack, summaries, and their kids' football game.
By the end, your team walks away with:
-
A repeatable messaging system
-
Templates and playbooks for future campaigns
-
Confidence to audit and test their messages to survive internal and external scrutiny
-
Skills to create content that moves decisions forward

Short FAQ

What do you need from us? Minimal prep required. Just one product/service and your key communication team members.
-
Why is the workshop different?
This is a messaging transmission system. The goal is repeatability that survives retelling — not just pretty words designed for the B2B market. -

My Guarantee (No Fluff Version)
If by the end of the training your team can’t clearly explain your message to a colleague in one sentence, we’ll do an extra session — on the house.
Because that’s the whole point.
Thank you for the excellent workshop this past week. It hit all the right notes

"This changed how we think about messaging."
It was such a pleasure working with Vivien.
She made me feel at ease from the beginning and she gave me such grace as she understood this was not my area of expertise.
However, she explained it to me with such simplicity that it opened my way of thinking.
She actually made this work exciting in a way I never imagined.
She is great at what she does and it is my goal to tap into her wisdom every chance I get."

We needed help on how to create greater visibility and increase our global audience via webinars or other marketing initiatives.
Your training regarding segmenting our audience, finding the common villain, and curating rather than creating was really valuable.
