Evidence-based frameworks for executive influence | Professional Speaker Coach | Communication, Influence
I was telling everyone to simplify their speaking, I was wrong, we need to DRAMATICALLY simplify it! I've been analysing the popular TED Talks. THEY ALL USE GRADE 2! What grade are most conversations and talks? Grade 9-11. Reasons to use simple language: 1️⃣ Quicker to understand therefore faster to action 2️⃣ Complicated language takes more energy to process, increasing the chance of distraction 3️⃣ Complex language does not mean increased impact Simon Sinek, Jill Bolte-Taylor, Sir Ken Robinson et all, all had huge impact and all used Grade 2 language in their talks. As educators, they don't make mistakes when it comes to making a point. Here is why most people don't simplify their language: 1️⃣ It takes time and effort 2️⃣ It requires you to think about words your audience will use 3️⃣ You need to be hyper-clear on your message AND outcome (In my experience, only 3% can do this off the top of their heads) I can help anyone create a compelling narrative in 5 mins using 3 tools that connect and engage audiences. If there is enough interest, I'll do a session here on LinkedIn. (Edit: Given the huge response, here is where you can sign up https://lnkd.in/gb2HZk3a)
Go for it John! The world is in dire need of clear, evidence-based, unambiguous and accurate communication. Keeping in mind, "“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” (Einstein) I'd love to understand, and use, your "compelling narrative in 5 mins using 3 tools."
I’d be interested to learn your 3 strategies, Jon Yeo
My biggest struggle!! I’m in!
I’m in Jon Yeo - would love an opportunity to learn from you.
A fantastic concept and I would be so interested! Love your insights Jon!
Jon Yeo coached me to present a Spot Talk at the recent Financial Counselling Australia conference. It was an incredible experience, one I never would have been able to deliver without Jon’s expertise, encouragement, and belief in me. It wasn’t perfect, but Jon helped me prepare with confidence and reminded me that while perfection might be the goal, it’s the courage to show up that really matters.
Count me in! Translating finance concepts for a non-finance audience can always be improved on.
Gold. ✨ I'm interested in the possibility of a session, Jon Yeo
