3. When Knowing Too Much Can Hurt Your Communication: How to Make Complex Ideas Accessible
from Think Fast Talk Smart (Hindi): Communication Techniques
As communicators, we often need to take complex information (e.g., financial, technical, or scientific) and make it more understandable for our audience – we’re experts and they likely aren’t. But having so much knowledge on the topics we discuss can often make the job more difficult: we dive in too quickly, forget about our audience's needs, or use jargon that goes over their heads. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, strategic communications lecturers Matt Abrahams and Lauren Weinstein explore the “curse of knowledge” and offer specific techniques you can use to be more successful in getting your point across. एक communicator के तौर पर, हमें अक्सर बहुत complex information — जैसे financial data, technical details, या scientific concepts — को simple और understandable बनाना पड़ता है ताकि audience उसे आसानी से समझ सके।हम experts होते हैं, लेकिन हमारी audience शायद नहीं। और यही expertise कभी-कभी हमारे लिए मुश्किल भी बन जाती है — हम बहुत जल्दी deep dive कर लेते हैं, audience की जरूरतें भूल जाते हैं, या ऐसा jargon इस्तेमाल करते हैं जो उनके सिर के ऊपर से निकल जाता है।इस एपिसोड में, Strategic Communication के lecturers मैट एब्रहम्स और लॉरेन वीनस्टीन बात करेंगे “The Curse of Knowledge” के बारे में — और कुछ practical techniques बताएँगे जिनसे आप अपनी बात audience तक और असरदार तरीके से पहुँचा सकें।Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> [email protected] Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn
