The 1% Framework for Clear, Memorable Communication

from SPEAK LIKE A CEO · host Oliver Aust

If your presentation goes well, your audience will forget 90% of what you said. So, the question is: what's the 1% you want them to remember? Andrea Pacini, author of Timeless Presenter, joins Oliver to ensure you become a confident presenter whose message isn’t forgotten by tomorrow.  They unpack why you don't want to start with an agenda or title slide, how to find your 1%, how to work with the brain not against it like most presenters, how you avoid ending up in your audience's spam folder and what the worst thing is you can tell your audience. These principles for memorable communication are the difference between being heard and being remembered. ⏰Timestamps (00:00) Introduction (00:36) Spam Folder (01:33) Start with a Promise (03:10) The 1% That Matters (05:01) The One-Word Pitch (06:24) Don't Fight the Brain (07:26) Weakness Is a Strength (09:12) Clear Is Kind (11:23) Creativity Needs a Cage (13:24) Let Your Message Breathe (14:38) Don't "Use" PowerPoint (16:10) Action Over Reach (18:09) Love Your Audience (20:20) Think Like a Journalist (22:09) The Pause Is the Point (23:56) The Worst Thing You Can Do (25:09) Curiosity Beats Confidence (26:39) Content Fills the Time (28:36) End Before They Want You To Connect with Andrea Pacini: https://www.ideasonstage.com/uk/ 🎧More Episodes Like This • 316: Surrounded by Idiots w/ Thomas Erikson  https://open.spotify.com/episode/2YFSr9PbPZlFQJAUpebogU • 315: Nir Eyal NYT Best Seller https://open.spotify.com/episode/2YFSr9PbPZlFQJAUpebogU • 308: Confidence on Command 🔗LinkedIn Host: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-aust/ Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/apacini/ 📩Newsletter Host: https://eo-ipso-comms.kit.com/profile 📚Resources • 21 Storytelling Frameworks: https://eo-ipso-comms.kit.com/21-storytelling-frameworks-with-oliver • Become a Presentation Genius (Free Course): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wJloFeNwBg • Speak Like a CEO Academy: https://www.speaklikeaceo.academy/ 📧 Email: [email protected] 🙌 This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique: https://www.podcastboutique.com
