🇺🇸 A Note Before We Begin

As we head into Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S., I want to take a moment to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
Their courage is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about purpose, responsibility, and showing up with integrity when it matters most.

Now, let’s talk about how you can lead with clarity and confidence in the room you're in — starting with how you communicate.

🎯 Elite Edge – Week 36: Say It Better. Be Seen Faster. Lead Louder.

This week, we’re getting surgical with your communication game.

Because here’s the truth:
💣 Stop talking like a middle manager — start sounding like the decision maker.
Whether you're aiming for the boardroom or just trying to get your ideas taken seriously, your words build your brand — and your visibility.

🧠 Communication is the new currency — here’s how to spend it like a leader.

🧠 Why Executive Presence Starts with Precision

Leaders don’t just work harder — they communicate sharper.

They speak in headlines, write with clarity, and know how to get buy-in fast.
No long monologues. No filler. No need for follow-up questions.

If you want to be trusted with more, you need to sound like someone who can handle more.

💼 Where Most Professionals Go Wrong

They overexplain. They hedge. They wait for permission.
They write long emails that bury the lead. They ramble in meetings to “sound smart.”

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need more words — you need better words.

🛠️ Tools to Help You Communicate Like a Leader

To help you put this into practice, I’m giving you 3 tactical tools that sharpen your messaging and boost your visibility:

📂 “Say It Better” Swipe File

Ever freeze when writing an update? Unsure how to challenge a VP without sounding combative?
This swipe file gives you phrases that land in boardrooms — and get remembered.

Examples include:

• “Here’s what’s important now — and why it matters.”

• “If we move forward, here’s the risk I’m watching.”

• “I’ll follow up with a post-read, but here’s the topline.”

🧠 Use these in emails, updates, or when managing up.

👀 Visibility Tracker

If you’re doing great work but no one knows it, you’re invisible.
This simple template helps you track high-impact moments monthly — so when it’s time to talk about performance or promotion, your receipts are ready.

📌 Update this once a month. Your future self will thank you.

✍️ BLUF Worksheet (Bottom Line Up Front)

Every exec loves a clear headline. This worksheet helps you structure:

• Project updates

• Meeting prep

• Written reports

• Status emails

Start with the bottom line, then add supporting context. No fluff. Just facts.

💬 Example:
BLUF: “We’re on track to hit the milestone, but there’s a resource gap that could delay testing by 2 weeks if not filled.”
→ Follow with context, ask, risk, and next steps.

🛠️ This Week’s Elite Moves:

✅ Use the BLUF format in your next team or stakeholder email
✅ Track one win in your Visibility Tracker — even if it felt “small”
✅ Try one phrase from the Swipe File in your next leadership conversation
✅ Rewrite one piece of feedback to sound more clear, confident, and strategic
