Editor's Notes
- #3 3 is the most persuasive number in communications (life, liberty and pursuit of happiness) . 1956 People can remember 7 things AT MOST, now belief is that we can only remember 3 or 4 “chuncks” of information.
- #6 Instead, “communicate in a clear and concise manner,” said Racioppi. “Do not give a dissertation as an answer to a question or in a presentation. To have a positive impact in your communication, deliver information in headlines.” Engage people in conversation. Don’t talk at them, talk with them. If you have expertise in a specific area, make two or three points. Don’t overload people with all the details. Speak from your experience and in a voice of authority. Avoid phrases like “I think,” “it might be.” These phrases diminish the power of what you have to say. Look at the color of eyes and think of your toes.
