Understanding the message
What is the message
The sender has to give correct information about what he
wants the receiver to leave with.
Not what we THINK the
receiver wants to hear
What do you want to happen
●Action
●Belief
●Awareness
●Donation
Beware confusion
Who is the message for!
● You can search throughout the entire universe
for someone who is more deserving of your
love and affection than you are yourself, and
that person is not to be found anywhere. You
yourself, as much as anybody in the entire
universe deserve your love and affection.
Scientist . Religious audience . Parents . Youth club . Politicians . Business
men
Promoting the benefits of beef at a vegetarian
conference will likely empty your venue no matter how
strong your passion for steak.
A simple message
Donate to World peace -
They need:
Why – should they (Stories, evidence, examples,
etc.)
How – do they do that
When – you want them to donate
What – happens when they do
Give it focus
● Do not ramble (know your stuff)
● Your purpose must be specifically directed to
interests of your listeners or they will mentally
shut you down.
Be authentic
● Try not to read the message
● Don't talk to fast and get carried away
● Don't try to be clever and fill your message with
nonsense
● The message is what it is
● Believe the message
Tell stories
● You need to connect with them emotionally and
inspire them to change behaviour or beliefs.
● The more personal and authentic, the more
powerful the response you'll receive. Learn how
to construct stories that excite, motivate and
compel people to action.
The message is key
● If you try to cram in
everything you know, you
won’t have time to include
key details.
Keep the message going
● In 5 minutes
● In 15 minute
● In 30 minutes
● In an hour
Your job is to keep that message alive and
kicking.
Rinse and Repeat
Summary
● Know your stuff
● Keep the message simple
● Tell the audience what you want them to do
● Keep focus
● Tell stories
