Toastmasters

“They do some teaching, but it's really to give you the reps. So I highly recommend Toastmasters. Improvisation is another way to get comfortable with these skills.”

02 / recommendation

I often recommend speakers see the room even if they're not physically present, but get a picture online or some way envision yourself in the room, envision yourself in the room with the people you'll be speaking to.

I don't know about you and I don't know anybody who could imagine seeing a bunch of people in their underwear and feel more comfortable with that.

05 / belief

Now, certainly I can vary the tone and the directness of some of those responses so it sounds very differently, but thinking through it in my mind, I have to level set what we're talking about.

08 / preference

One that I personally think is a lot of fun is getting present oriented because when I'm in the present, by definition I'm not worried about the future.

09 / evaluation

Why is it important to me and what can I do with that information?" And if you do that, not only do you get better and more comfortable deploying that structure, but you also remember the material better because there's a whole bunch of research that says when we interrogate the material that we listen to or read, we digest it and remember it more.

10 / evaluation

What helps them do well is all the preparation and practice that they've done. So there are lots of analogs to this, but when we think about it in of communication, it seems foreign, but when you think about it in athletics or jazz music, it's like of course you would prepare and practice.

11 / commitment

Many of us don't. And when we apologize, we need to make sure that we apologize for the transgression and not for how we made people feel.

12 / prediction

Where I think I can add a little value to what Kim talks about, and she does talk about structure, but I think having the structure to package up the information to make it easier to digest by your audience, the person or people you're talking to, but also to formulate your thoughts can help.

13 / recommendation

One rule is the one that you shared that in small talk there should be a balance of disclosure or depth of disclosure over time. So if you're telling me about the first time your first pet died, and I'm telling you my favorite color is blue, there's a discrepancy in disclosure there.
