Clarity
Means Being Understood
While 100000000
is 'unclear', 100,000,000 isn't. Structure makes the
difference. Learning how to structure ideas, using both left-
and right-brain logics, makes even technically complex topics
accessible to listeners.
Brevity
Means 'Getting to the Point'
'Getting to
the point' requires focus. Structure forces focus. In an era
of information overload, brevity is valued. Less is more.
Impact
Means Being Persuasive
Persuasion
stems from relevance: anticipating listener interests in the
secret of relevance. Add memorable structure and you produce
lasting impact.
Think On Your Feet® teaches
Clarity, Brevity and Impact in the
presentation of idea. Which is why it is now considered a core
competency for "knowledge" workers.
