Communicate a Clear & Inspiring Vision

Great products develop when different teams come together to follow a clear product vision. Communicating and getting cross-company buy-in to that vision is your product team’s responsibility. They must ensure that everyone, from the developers who build the product to the UI and UX teams that make it work, is aligned. Meanwhile, the business units are pushing for new features and faster delivery dates.

Standing at those crossroads, you need to develop Action Driven Communication skills to sell your ideas, keep all stakeholders on the same page, and deliver to market on time.

testimonial

“I had the opportunity to bring Mila’s company to conduct workshops both at Gett, when I was Director of Product, and in my current position at Taboola. The StoryCompass method for finding a value proposition provided practical tools for building a message. The product managers analyzed their audiences, understood their Needs map, and even developed empathy for the audience. This gave the product managers tools through which they could communicate their prioritization more clearly, build a stronger story, and engage people in the actions they want to take – and this improves performance, saves time, and reduces friction in the team.”

Generate Buy-In to Your Ideas and Messaging

Repeating business objectives to your development team only to discover at your weekly status update that they either didn’t understand or chose a different approach can be frustrating. Developing new features for your customer success team to upsell and having them ignore them when talking with customers is mentally draining.

It’s always a struggle to convey your ideas, objectives, and specs to other teams; finding out that you’ve been disregarded is beyond frustrating and highly counterproductive.

MILA’s communication and storytelling tools will help you to reframe your story, create compelling messages, and offer a clear and precise vision. Analyze each stakeholder within the product chain and build your narrative in a way that answers their needs.

Collaboration that Reduces Friction

Effective communication skills enable everyone within the process to fully understand their place in the product life-cycle. It replaces misunderstandings and missed deadlines with enhanced prioritization so you hit your KPIs and OKRs.

MILA’s storytelling and consulting services enable you to build a positive atmosphere between the groups. Developers understand feature requirements, while the business units recognize the impact these new features have on the timeline and can prioritize effectively based on the product’s roadmap and company vision.

testimonials

“The one-on-one work on public speaking left a mark on me to this day, it was a pleasure and it proved to be very effective.”

“I worked with Mila on a large number of presentations of different styles and for different audiences. Her ability to combine insights from the world of storytelling and debate and her precision in conveying the message places her in a very small group of people who can prepare you for presentations.”

“Our management team did the storytelling course and I was surprised to learn that storytelling can be taught. I learned that having an interesting presentation is not enough. It has to make the audience willing to move and be engaged not only with the idea but also with what is needed from them in order to move forward. In the workshop, I learned a process that guides you through the emotional position of the listeners and helps you identify weak points before you see sleepy eyes in front of you. I would recommend this course to colleagues.”

Creating Engagement and Influencing Others

The nature of work is changing, and the perception that you give off to your employees can be the difference between happy employees who stay and the need to replace key members of your team every year.

Employees tend to raise objections to new business objectives or organizational changes if they fail to see the big picture. Work is delayed, motivation drops, and there is a sense of frustration.

MILA’s communication and storytelling tools will help you to reframe your story, create compelling messages, and create a clear and precise vision. Analyse each stakeholder and build your story in a way that answers your employees’ needs and creates a positive atmosphere.

On-Point Messaging – Communicating for Faster, Better Delivery

Few are naturally immune to the Curse of Knowledge, where you know so much about a process or technology that you believe every piece of information is important. That leads to long presentations without context that bores viewers rather than inspires them. Your audience comes away puzzled, and you don’t get expected results – budgets aren’t approved or team efforts don’t meet expectations.

MILA’s Action Driven Communication Skills gives you the tools to break through misunderstandings to help you build impactful presentations, deliver results, and achieve your KPIs on time.

Collaboration that Reduces Frictions

Communicating effectively is the key, ensuring that your colleagues understand the interdependencies between the teams and the value everyone achieves when working together efficiently.

MILA’s proven methodologies help managers build relationships, and grow beyond their role, transforming them into leaders with a reputation for getting things done.

Personal Branding and Team Positioning

Every meeting you have with a stakeholder is an opportunity to build your brand and position your team. Dailies, “All Hands”, one-on-ones, board meetings, and even status update meetings can all be used to improve your standing among your coworkers, peers, and managers.

Through the skillset developed with our methodologies, every meeting becomes the grounds to showcase your team’s successes, drive motivation, and boost your personal branding.

testimonials

“Mila ran a great workshop during our team offsite – she was not only engaging and impactful on the day, but also a great partner beforehand in creating the content together and tailoring it to our needs. For marketing teams looking for a team bonding activity with a twist or looking to refresh their narrative in a creative way – I highly recommend Mila's storytelling workshop.”

“When I was VP of Marketing and Business Operations at Kaltura, we held a storytelling and presentation course for the team. During training, our team learned to optimize the sales pitch, analyze different target audiences, and build the message around those audiences’ challenges in a way that frames our strategy as the best solution. “Our team members are required to make presentations at conferences and give webinars to end clients, and they don’t always know how to simplify the message and attract attention. During training, we talked about how stories, humor, and metaphors can simplify complex messages and inspire others. “In addition to the storytelling course, I also had the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring prior to appearing at the conference. Working with the mentor helped me to position Kaltura as a market leader.”

Communicate Your Unique Value Proposition

When moving quickly from one campaign to the next, companies often deviate from their main narrative. As time goes on, they end up sending confusing and sometimes even contradictory messages into the market, creating inconsistent value propositions.

Over time, marketing teams may hit their MQLs, but the leads miss their mark and don’t translate into sales.

With MILA, our methodologies help you to analyze your target audience, define and present a unique value, create trust, and generate more accurate leads. We help you to reframe your customer challenges and your solution in a new and innovative way.

Collaboration Is Critical

When relying on designers, developers, sales teams, and other stakeholders to complete their parts of projects, marketing teams find themselves chasing others and waiting on deliverables. As a result, they often have to push off deadlines and suffer from poor quarterly results. They find themselves in the uncomfortable position of playing the blame game with other teams in front of upper management, which ultimately hurts collaboration between the different teams.

MILA’s unique communication and storytelling methodologies teach marketing teams how to work more effectively with those around them, empower their sales teams, and deliver impactful presentations to all stakeholders.

Communicate Your Unique Value Proposition

Adapting your company sales deck to a specific region, industry, or client takes time and effort. When combined with your busy schedule, it’s easy to fall back on the familiar.

As a result, many sales teams use generic decks and miss the opportunity to differentiate their company. Time and again, sales teams struggle to tell a complete story that doesn’t only address the obvious pain points, but frames a new story while offering new insight.

Our services help you define and present those unique values, tell a complete story, and analyze the client (rationally and emotionally). We help you showcase your customer’s challenges and the solution you provide in a new light.

Building A Support System

Business success relies on closing, recurring revenue, and customer satisfaction. However, creating that powerful connection with customers requires support from the marketing and product teams. Creating robust internal networks helps generate a better understanding of the products you need to sell\upsell and the marketing content you need to grab a customer’s attention.

MILA’s proven methodologies and storytelling techniques help you enlist the support you need and find the right approach to connect with your team members.

R&D

sentrysite — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 13:57:55 +0000

Talking Beyond Technicalities

R&D teams are at the core of every technological company. They often find themselves communicating with business-oriented teams, enrolling stakeholders, or representing the company at meetups or conferences explaining intricate processes. However, they struggle to find the accurate narrative, showcase the bottom line, and keep everyone aligned and in the right context.

Nowadays, it is crucial for any analyst or developer to be equipped with the toolset that will assist them to convey powerful messages and communicate with others effectively

“The one-on-one work on public speaking left a mark on me to this day, it was a pleasure and it proved to be very effective.”

Empower Leaders and Reduce Friction Through Effective Communication

Agile methodology is about embracing change and delivering value quickly. At its core is the need for effective communication, without which development teams feel their time is wasted, they get frustrated by constant firefights, and team morale drops.

These skills are also vital for R&D champions and tech leads who need to motivate different stakeholders to take part in cross-organizational projects, work methods, and technologies.

Our StoryCompass methodology helps the R&D team gain a better understanding of their stakeholders. They learn how to foster buy-in and communicate value by reframing messages, creating trust, and sharing a complete story.

On-Point Messages Save Time and Deliver Results

R&D teams and people who love data think that every piece of it is important; they build lengthy presentations that take deep dives into their technology. Unfortunately, this data overload tends to overwhelm executives, sales, marketing, and product personnel who are far more interested in how the tech or data drives KPIs rather than the technology behind it.
In the wake of these presentations are confused decision makers and frustrated R&D teams. Projects get canceled or put on hold as business units can’t see the value or benefits for their customers.

When your goal is to convince others of the importance of your initiative, our practical methodologies help you simplify your message, reduce the information overload, and provide a clear point that delivers results.

Upgrade Your Brand Ambassadors

R&D champions, tech leads, and individual contributors represent your brand at meet-ups, all hands, on social media, and through their blogs. In many ways they function as brand ambassadors, introducing other developers and engineers to your technology, culture, and mission, effectively casting your business as a desirable place of employment.

As high-tech companies battle it out for top recruits, your champion’s success could be the difference in recruiting and retaining your next team.

When you’re ready to step outside the office, we help you create unforgettable presentations that position you as a leader in your field and function as a recruiting magnet.
