3 Communication Insights from Dave Jackson for ALL OF US!
1). TELL US WHERE YOU’RE HEADED
- Whether you’re running a meeting, giving a speech, or hosting a podcast episode, start by telling your audience why they’re there. Start with the punch line.
unless they know where it’s headed!
2). STORYTELLING
- When you share a little bit about yourself, your audience advances from knowing you, to liking you, to trusting you.
by sharing personal stories.
3).CONFIDENCE
- We all have imposter syndrome! (Yes, even Dave Jackson!)
- A few confidence hacks:
- practice (!)
- adopt a new mindset: remind yourself that you don’t have to be the world’s greatest expert – you just have to know more than your audience!
