Draft It Clear

A 2025 holiday jingle by PDR Strategies.

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holiday Season! Remember to draft it clear!

Lyrics:

Draft it clear,
Check the facts,
Read it one more time,
Every word and every line
Should inform, not amplify.

Pause a beat,
Think it through,
Before you hit “send,”
Clarity is kindness here,
It’s how trust begins.

Draft it clear,
Say it straight,
Context leads the way,
Honest words, a steady voice,
Build trust day by day.
Draft it clear,
Lead with calm,
Even under strain,
Good communication is the gift
That always remains.

Breaking news,
Long nights,
Pressure’s closing in,
Say what’s known and what’s not yet,
That’s how confidence begins.

No spin here,
No buzzwords,
Just the truth on time,
Say it once, then say it right,
And update down the line.

When you don’t know yet, say that,
Silence isn’t strength,
Credibility is earned by what
You say and what you don’t say.

Draft it clear,
Check the facts,
Tone and timing too,
Good communication doesn’t just inform,
It leads people through.

Draft it clear.
Say what you know.
Say what you don’t.
Happy Holidays, communicators.
