Hacks to take away
- Resonance Trumps Persuasion: Instead of trying to force your message, align with what already matters to your audience. Focus on understanding their perspective and speaking their language, which creates a deeper, more meaningful connection.
- The Dinner Table Test: Distill your complex message into a simple, compelling 3-sentence summary that someone would naturally share at a dinner table. This ensures your communication is clear, concise, and memorable.
- Embrace Silence and Serve Your Audience: Effective communication isn’t about showing off or overwhelming with information. It’s about serving your audience, being passionate about your message, and giving them space to process and have “aha” moments.
