Episode notes
Content And Delivery Are Both Crucial
- Content matters more than style when information is vital because listeners will stay for important content even if delivery is dull.
- But delivering a gift poorly reduces its impact, so both content and delivery are needed.
Make A Listening Appointment
- Make appointments for undivided attention by asking, 'Have you got five minutes to give me your undivided attention?'
- If they agree then they owe you focus and you can call it out if they break the contract.
Lead With The Why
- Start with the point: give the why first so listeners know why to pay attention.
- Use the 'say what you're going to say; say it; say what you said' pyramid to frame talks.
