Make Ideas Stick, Make Change Happen
In Made to Stick, the Heath brothers crack the code on why some ideas thrive - and others vanish.
Their insight?
“The curse of knowledge is the biggest enemy of clarity.”
Sticky ideas aren’t about being flashy - they’re about being simple, concrete, emotional, and unexpected.

Your message matters - but only if it’s remembered.
Use the SUCCESs model to shape your next pitch or presentation:

Unexpected – What breaks the pattern?
Concrete – What can people picture?
Credible – Who backs it up?
Emotional – Why should they care?
Stories – What makes it human?
Try this:
Boil your next big idea down to one powerful sentence. Then ask: Would a 10-year-old get it?
