      About Course

      For your ideas to have impact, they must stick with an audience. A sticky idea is understood, remembered, and it changes something (whether opinions or behaviors or beliefs). And Dan Heath–along with his brother Chip–has literally written the book on Make Your Ideas Stick.

      The Heath brothers wrote Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, which has sold over a million copies around the world and been translated into 33 languages. The book has been used by audiences ranging from Fortune 500 CEOs to Navy admirals to pastors to teachers to a White House speechwriting team.

      Make Your Ideas Stick

      This new course, created 14 years after the book was published, is a practical guide to communicating more effectively. In this course, you will master the six traits that sticky ideas have in common, and you will learn to apply those traits to your own messages to make them more impactful. Case studies range from business to education to health care to online dating … with a few urban legends and proverbs thrown in for good measure.

      Whether you’re giving a presentation, delivering a speech, crafting social media messages, teaching a class, or writing a persuasive pitch, you will learn specific strategies and techniques to Make Your Ideas Stick.
