structure

Minimise misunderstandings

c/o LinkedIn

I strongly believe in the importance of structure, as it is an incredibly powerful tool for all forms of communication, especially when answering a spontaneous question or speaking impromptu. When engaging in off-the-cuff communication, you face two fundamental tasks: deciding what to say and how to say it. I think structure provides you with the "how to say it" part, by offering a step-by-step recipe for effective delivery. For example, if you are asked to describe your company's mission on the spot, you can use a simple structure: start with a brief overview of the mission, explain why it matters, and conclude with an example of how it is being implemented. This approach ensures your response is clear, concise, and impactful.

This week has been rather turbulent, and made me realise that some people build bridges and some people pay a toll to use the bridge. There are more questions than answers and the more that I find out, the less I know.
- Why are we not taught how to build up a conversation?
- What would you say to this or that?
- How could you misinterpret this or that?
- How can I make this clearer?
- How will what I say make the receiver feel?
