00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:03,800
Now I have to figure out what to say in this speech you're going to give.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,760
We can do this the hard way or we can do this the easy way I'm going to assume you want to do it the

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,660
easy way the hard way which is what most people do and why most people hate public speaking is they

4
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:20,430
try to gather every single fact in the entire world that they could say on the subject.

5
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:26,280
So if they're giving a quarterly report on how their division did they're trying to gather every single

6
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:28,450
sales just store data.

7
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:34,290
Everything that's happened every blip every fact and they're cramming it all in his PowerPoint they

8
00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:35,520
want to speak quick pads.

9
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:38,160
Hard work.

10
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:41,040
You want the easy way out I'm going to give it to you.

11
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:42,480
Here's what I need you to do.

12
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,800
Brainstorm on every message you could possibly say on this subject.

13
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:49,770
Narrow it down to the top five.

14
00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:50,970
Why five.

15
00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:53,190
It's because I actually test audiences all over the world.

16
00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:59,490
I have never found an audience to remember more than five key ideas from the best speaker in the world.

17
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:06,570
You only want to get to be average or a little above mediocre the best speakers in the world only communicate

18
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:07,470
five ideas.

19
00:01:07,470 --> 00:01:08,970
So let's narrow it down.

20
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:14,500
The big mistake of course most people try to communicate 50 100 ideas.

21
00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:16,920
They communicate nothing.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,550
So let's just cut right to the day.

23
00:01:18,690 --> 00:01:21,400
Focus on your five ideas.

24
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:26,160
Write those down one sentence for each one 10 words or less.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,300
Write it down let's make it simple folks.

26
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,350
This is not the time for an 80 page PowerPoint.

27
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:33,780
Five points ten words or less.
