How to avoid rambling and deliver your message clearly
“Words that are carefully framed and spoken are the most powerful means of communication there is.” ~ Nancy Duarte (writer, speaker, and CEO of Duarte: Persuasive Presentation Experts)
Quick Summary:
- Articulate the current reality, look to the future, and describe the new bliss
- Why should they care, what is it, how do they do it, and what if there are alternatives?
- Take us on the journey with you and find ways to make sure we’re keeping up.
To illustrate the points:
This video is a little longer than our normal, but it really drives the points home we covered in the What is and What Could be video—and I believe it’s absolutely worth your time.
Alton Brown (of the Food Network) has been so successful (in my opinion) because he actively finds ways to bring us on the journey, to check in, and to have fun.
Time to practice!
- Brainstorm: an idea with your topic that employs the What is/What could be/New bliss model
- 2nd Brainstorm: another idea that you could teach and outline the Why, What, How to, What If
- On camera: record both videos and post!
- BONUS: Go to your online channel and add an about section and links to your website, social profiles, etc.
