1. We focus on the big picture
Not on ourselves
When someone asks us to explain what we do, the natural tendency is to start by talking about us – our instruments, our knowledge, our expertise.
But that’s not the part of the story that really excites people and draws them in.
What they really want to hear about are the amazing discoveries our instruments make possible, and how they’re helping create a brighter, safer, cleaner future: curing killer diseases, stopping climate change, making sure the world’s poorest have access to clean air and drinking water.
Not what we do, but what we make possible.
Tip: Think big picture, but give specific examples – ‘the drug that cures the killer disease’ is more vivid than ‘new medicines’.
