TALKING POINTS
✅ [2:32 - 2:55] I am fascinated by persuasive presenting in business, rather than just how to stand and gesture, how to breathe properly and how to use your voice. How do we go to a meeting and say whatever we've got to say and get people in the meeting to do something different, that we want them to do?
✅ [26:06 - 26:17] The law of requisite variety states that the person who can demonstrate the most flexibility in the communication moment is the person who holds the power.
✅ [28:18 - 28:30] There are three phases to a good presentation - analysis, design, then delivery. Analysis is where you work out, what do I want to achieve?
✅ [29:14 - 29:32] My model is called the Persuasion Blueprint. Linguistic patterns are the way you combine your words in your sentences. When you use these linguistic patterns cleverly, it makes you persuasive.
