Four sessions. Real messaging.
Built to survive the journey.
Four live sessions.
Real messaging.
Rebuilt to survive the journey
From your desk to their decision.
_edited.png)
Your message was clear. Accurate.
Signed off.
So why is everyone reading it differently?
Your team knows how to write.
They know the rules.
They've been trained on clarity, brevity, storytelling and copywriting 101.
Yet somehow your message keeps missing the mark.
Managers tell a different story.
Sales say their own thing
Marketing reverts to old copy
Nobody trained your team for what happens after the message leaves the room.
That's the difference between messaging that lands — and messaging that just gets sent.
Thank you for the excellent workshop this past week. It hit all the right notes

Not just a workshop. Get your team reaching their own a-ha moments
Most communication workshops teach the theory and send your team home to "figure out the application" on Monday. This is different:
Real problems, solved live. Your team brings the campaign that isn't landing, the update being read differently by managers, the brief that's been rewritten four times — we rebuild it in the room, in real time, using the F.A.S.T. framework.
A diagnostic, not just a quick fix. Your team will know exactly how to fix it before it goes out and does any damage.
A framework they own. Not a one-off rebuild — a repeatable process they can run on any brief, any campaign, any all-staff update.
Proof by session one. There's already a before-and-after by the end of the first session — and your team will start to think about messages strategically, not just editing sentences.
Grounded in human psychology
The F.A.S.T. Framework
One question drives every session: will this message survive the journey?
What happens in the Room
Every session runs on live briefs. Not invented case studies, not generic templates.
What you walk in with is what you walk out having rebuilt.
Each starts with an autopsy and moves to design.
Before we start: Pre-Session Alignment Call
A short call to pinpoint what's not working and what "success" looks like by session four.
Session 1: Fixing the Frame
Fix the Frame: What has to survive, no matter who repeats it.
Session 2: Anchoring in your Multi-Audience World
Rebuild the opening from the audience's problem, not the org's. This is the shift that turns a message people receive into one they act on and answer What's In It For Me before they ask.
Session 3: The simplification
Cutting jargon and insider language without losing precision. Building the translation layer most messaging leaves out.
Session 4: The travel test
Designing for the skimmer, not the perfect reader: structure, subheadings, and soundbites built to survive a partial read and get amplified.

Solo? Two team sizes? Just stepped into the role?
All tiers include: the pre-session alignment call, all four live sessions, the F.A.S.T. framework, and the before-and-after messaging audit.

THE GUARANTEE - NO FLUFF VERSION
If your team can't explain your core message in one sentence by the end of session four, we run an extra session free.
Because that's the whole point. A message that can be summarised clearly can survive anything.
FAQ
Is this a writing workshop? No. It's messaging architecture. Better writing is the byproduct — the real work is how a message is framed, positioned, and built to survive the trip from your desk to the decision.
Will this work for a complex, global organisation? Yes — that's the exact environment it's built for.
What do we need to bring? Real messaging, minimal prep. Rougher is better — it's working material.
Is this theoretical or applied? Applied. Every session works on your live priorities. Nothing to "apply later."
Why virtual? So your New York lead, London manager, and Sydney team can be in the same room without a travel budget.
Can we book more than one cohort? Yes — some teams run it with global leads one quarter, regional the next.
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.
Your training regarding how to segment our audience, finding the common villain in our messaging, and curating rather than creating was really valuable.

Not sure this is right for your team? Start here.
Before we talk about the four-session training, I want to see your actual messaging problem — not a hypothetical one.
Send me one real message. I'll spend 15 minutes with you live, picking it apart using the F.A.S.T. framework, so we both know — before either of us commits — whether this is a fit for your team and where the real problem sits.
This isn't a taster session. It's how I qualify whether the training is the right next step for you.
Fill in the form and paste your message below. I'll email you a calendar link so you can pick a time.
