Successful Communication Recipe

✨Key takeaways:

  • Big picture first, then details. Answer "What's in it for them?" in the first 60 seconds.
  • Be a storyteller, not a PowerPoint presenter.
  • Simplify your message by choosing simpler words, avoiding jargon, and providing concise explanations.

Implement these steps for better communication:

  1. Start by providing context and emphasizing relevance to the audience. Example: Begin a presentation by highlighting the benefits to attendees.
  2. Use storytelling to make information more engaging and memorable. Example: Complement your data with real-world examples and relatable anecdotes to grab your audience's attention.
  3. Keep it concise by using simple words and short explanations to make complex topics easily digestible. Example: Replace bureaucratic terms and convoluted language with simpler alternatives.
