Today: Os takes over INFLUX 🪐 and introduces our newest workshop
👋 Hey! Welcome to Astrolab’s weekly newsletter on how to become a better communicator at work.
Here’s what you’ll find on this INFLUX 🪐:
The power of clarity while presenting to a busy audience
How being clear, precise and brief unlocks new opportunities
Don’t miss a big opportunity
🤾♂️ But first, big announcement
Before I dive in, I need to let you in on something.
This edition of INFLUX 🪐 is different.
We’re launching something that will transform the way you communicate at work forever.
If you’ve ever felt like your ideas get lost in the noise, if you’ve struggled to get heard, or if people tune out when you speak… this is for you.
But first, let me set the stage.
1. The power of clarity while presenting to a busy audience
You’re talking too much.
That’s what my client told me after I gave a five-minute explanation of my idea in a meeting. Ouch!
I felt embarrassed. Frustrated. Misunderstood.
I wanted to say,
But wait! You don’t get it! This is important!
Instead, I just sat there, my hands and my forehead sweating, feeling like I had just monologued my way out of an opportunity.
It stung. But it was also a wake-up call.
This was 2011. I was pouring my heart into my work, convinced that people would see the brilliance of my ideas. But instead? My ideas were getting lost in translation.
Around that time, my friend Andrés wrote a blog post asking me how to get his message across. He was having the same struggle!
That conversation turned into weekly meetings. We kept coming back to the same problem:
Smart, hardworking people losing opportunities because they couldn’t bring clarity to the table.
It wasn’t a talent problem. It was a communication problem.
That’s when it clicked. That’s how we started Astrolab with Inspira: Storytelling for Influence.
Hey, I’m Oscar Ramírez (AKA “Os”).
For the past twelve years, I’ve helped thousands of leaders and teams turn their ideas into messages that actually move people.
After working with top executives, startup founders, and industry leaders, helping them connect, tell better stories, and structure messages to move their teams to action, we realized something:
💡 We’re missing something. We’re missing the foundational skill of clarity.
2. How being clear, precise and brief unlocks new opportunities
The workplace is noisier than ever: endless emails, countless meetings, information overload. Everyone is fighting for attention.
If you don’t stand out with clarity, you don’t stand out at all.
You have to be able to articulate them clearly, briefly and concisely. That's what separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck.
If you’ve ever struggled with:
Rambling in meetings,
Over explaining your ideas or,
Losing people’s attention before making your point,
…then this is exactly what you need.
Introducing Let’s Be Clear: a cohort-based learning experience designed to help you say less, mean more, and make every conversation count.
This is for high potentials, mid-career professionals and emerging leaders who are ready to amplify their impact and accelerate their careers.
In this program, you’ll learn how to keep your communication:
Simple: No jargon, no fluff, just straight to the point.
Brief: Keeping messages short and easy to digest.
Precise: The message is focused and leaves no room for confusion.
As I’ve said: The most successful people aren't always the smartest or the hardest working. They're the best communicators.
So the question is: will you keep letting unclear communication hold you back? Or will you take control of your message and start making an impact?
With Let’s Be Clear you’ll learn how to do this, and you’ll practice it in real-time, with real feedback, in a small group of driven professionals like you.
