Stop Rambling: Use this 3-2-1 Speaking Structure - 346

Have you ever finished speaking and thought...
"I'm not sure I really got to the point."

Or perhaps you've listened to someone else and found yourself wondering:
"Where on earth is this going?"

Rambling might be great if you're out for a Sunday walk...
It's not so good when you're trying to hold an audience's attention.

In this episode, I share the simple three-step structure I use in talks, podcasts, videos, pitches and panel discussions to stop myself wandering off down rabbit holes.

It's helped me become more focused, more engaging and far more intentional about the way I communicate, and I think it'll do the same for you.

Whether you're delivering a keynote, recording content or simply trying to explain an idea more clearly, this framework will help you keep your audience with you from beginning to end.

In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why rambling quietly destroys credibility, engagement and opportunities
• The simple three-step structure I use in almost every speaking situation
• The biggest mistake speakers make before they even get to their main point
• Why audiences need a problem before they're interested in your solution
• The subtle difference between explaining and engaging
• How to make your message far more memorable
• Why finding the audience's pain first changes everything
• The reason great speakers make people curious before they teach
• How to use the same structure in talks, podcasts, videos, pitches and panels
• Why saying less often creates far more impact

Enjoy!
