Love your idea of using frameworks, and a number to constrain what you say (to at most about 3 points). Another framework that springs to mind for this is PREP, which you've probably come across before: ● Point - make your point succinctly, in (say) just a couple of short sentences ● Reason - say _why_ you came to that point of view ● Example - give a brief example to make your point more concrete ● Point - restate your point to drive it home (and to remind people what it was!)
Thanks for tuning in, Craig! What I love about the PREP framework is actually the last part - summing up what it is you're driving home. I think an element of "getting to the point" is landing that well / not letting your message just fade out.
Very true. Ending strongly makes a huge difference - and it's something I'm always looking to improve. A few years back, I reviewed a short UA-cam video, highlighting its strong points (7 of them), and one was to sum up well. (The other strengths were: ● Story ● Smiling ● Structure ● Sharing insights ● Similes and metaphors ● Steps to follow) If you'd like to see my takeaways from that video, just Google "It's important to sum up at the end of a talk" - _with_ the quotes. It's the only hit 😊
(I'd leave a link, but UA-cam seems to block links in comments... ☹) Anyway, am about to start facilitating F2F tech training, after not having done that for many years. So am enjoying your ideas! @@LeanneHughes
Thanks@@LeanneHughes! For some reason, that search I mentioned seems only to work intermittently. This one seems to work better - again, when you use the quote marks: "the speaker succinctly recaps his 4 main points"
