✨ After 20+ years helping executives and high-ranking military officers prepare for speaking engagements, Congressional hearings, media interviews, and doing tons of ghostwriting, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND: People who do well in moments that matter prepared best by practicing their messages with real humans. ✨ Beyond a free community to discuss communication skills with, I am preparing a small case study group to start in February 2026. We will dive into essentials for mastering communication skills. Maybe you want to prepare for an upcoming speaking engagement, win the deal/get the promotion, or prep for podcasting. Individuals will select their preferred target. If you’re a member of The Prosper Boardroom community, you’ll get a special promo price on the case study group — coming soon. Seats are limited, and I won’t offer this price for the next group. If it sounds like a fit, I look forward to seeing you inside: https://www.skool.com/theprosperboardroom/about?ref=25ca6a1d7a20401eb08b8b265e56b988

Join me this Thursday in Paulo Costa’s group, Plan Your Tech as I introduce a way to bring your stories to life, make them better and use AI to do more than just help you with ideas and outlines. I’ll introduce a new method I discovered to get your book READ using AI! Go back to school at skool! Thursday, 12/18, 8 am mtn time.

All week long as we have two presentations scheduled, a Free GPT release, and a formula to help you get your story from your idea to win!! Www.intensemedia.com/lab

I have spent over 20 years in marketing communications. I’m excited to help rising leaders and founders with mastering their communication skills. Where do you need practice? Charisma, public speaking, persuasive writing, presentation skills, and connecting with audiences are all skills you can learn. Authentic intelligence in these areas are going to be even more relevant as more people use AI and lose their edge. While providing a Skool space to connect with other founders and rising leaders, I’m preparing to mentor a small case study group in the new year. Founding members will get a special opportunity, and so if that sounds like part of your 2026, check out The Prosper Boardroom. See you inside! https://www.skool.com/theprosperboardroom/about?ref=25ca6a1d7a20401eb08b8b265e56b988

I asked Chatty G to analyze the posts in this group that have the highest engagement (excluding admin posts) and make recommendations about how people could create better posts. This is what it said: I’ve been spending some time looking at the posts here to figure out why some take off while others barely get seen — and the patterns are pretty clear. If you want your promo post to actually get attention (and not just disappear into the feed), here’s what I’ve noticed consistently works: 💡 1. Lead with something people care about — not just the name of your offer. Instead of starting with “Join my group” or “Here’s my course,” open with a question, a challenge, or a common pain point your audience has. The best-performing posts usually make the reader think “Oh, that’s me.” 🎯 2. Keep the focus tight. Posts that promote one clear thing — a free resource, a single workshop, a focused offer — get far more engagement than those that list everything you do. If you have multiple things to share, make separate posts over time. 📈 3. Show the benefit, not just the feature. Telling people “I run a membership” is less compelling than “I help coaches sign their first 5 clients.” Always connect what you’re offering to the result it creates. 🤝 4. Make it feel like an invitation, not a sales pitch. The posts with the most traction don’t pressure anyone. They share something valuable and then say, “If this sounds helpful, here’s where to go.” A soft invitation builds more trust here than a hard sell. ✨ 5. Demonstrate your value inside the post itself. A short insight, quick tip, or example of your expertise within the post does more to build credibility than any list of credentials. It gives people a reason to believe you before they ever click. None of this requires being pushy or salesy — it’s just about making sure your message is framed in a way that resonates. The more valuable and relevant we make our posts, the more this space will work for all of us. What do you think? Have you noticed the same or different patterns?
