Rambling is a problem for many. We ramble when we get nervous instead of just being still! Thank you for sharing!

It's so true, it's easier to ramble than to be still!

Thinking in Comparisons Thinking in / Knowing the direction Anchoring good for retrieving, instead of a sentence

so helpful! I tend to ramble, especially when I get extremely excited about something

Not if you take in the points. And she presented the way in which we usually speak at meetings, with butchers paper and a pen. No-one has time to prepare every meeting with slick power point so most meetings are like this.

Thank you! I love how you speak so crystal clear in your videos and it really helps!

Thank you Vicky! I love your analogies and examples. I can’t wait to try this out. It’s become so challenging these days to get your point across when people’s attention span is so distracted by other things.

Wow the last point, to think in visuals, really drove everything home. Thank you! 🏠💡

Vicky first what i liked about this video, then what i think could be improved. I liked the first example to capture the audience's imterest by saying "your home as you never imagined' I like the growing curve of compounding. This graph could be improved by plotting a straight line and saying that is not compounding but simple interest. And be sure to draw the straight line below the compounding curve. Seems by saying don't interrupt compounding, Charlie Munger meant don't withdraw your interest amount but instruct the bank to add it to your principal so that you automatically earn interest on interest. The third example of what we think we become, my visual is to draw a rough mountain, say a triangle, then draw lines (feet and hands) and a circle (face) signifying a human on the top of the mountain.

KZread recommended this and I'm forever grateful. I struggle with this a lot. Thank you so much Vicky! I see you use alliterations there which I just recently learned about from another .😉 Liked and Subscribed!

Thanks, Vicky! Strong information here. I'll need to rewatch this later. Anything that aligns with my understanding that absolutely everything is relative makes fundamental sense to me. Even when we're still, the planet is moving relative to the solar system, which is moving relative to the galaxy, which is moving relative to more complicated things in the universe. So for me, when you explained comparison and direction - I remember that I need to be relative to my audience visuals/imagination is how they can perceive this and navigate with me.

I have tangential speech in DAILY LIFE. I can start a conversation ~topic in mind, but always ends with bringing up 36 other topics, touching on each one, but not finishing ANY. Drives everyone absolutely crazy, including myself~ how could I possibly have friends? I am desperate for help, searched KZread. Ended up here. Apparently took a WRONG turn. Just my opinion, but by 5:56, I was so confused & felt you, yourself were rambling? Brain ~ currently fried 🤯 DAMN.

So curious what do you usually use to make points more succinct and punchy?

Oh , cant find tutorials how to expand answers in order to get a high score especially in task 2 of an ielts speaking

Just keep it short and blunt.

How to get to the point? And it took you the first 30 seconds just to say THAT.

I commend you for collating all your and other peoples ideas and a nice presentation, however I must say, the way some of your inflections rise and the emphasizing of words that aren't the highlight or key point in your phrase, as a listener, can sometimes detract from your overall message- The feeling like everything you're saying is being too often accented struck me as detracting from the effective signposting the majority of your phrases otherwise naturally lead us to Some attention to volume and speed/pacing, would give your presentations a nice rounded out flow. All the best and keep going!

Thanks for the thought and for watching! Fair point!

I love the video, though the marker to paper is giving me major skin crawls

Are you ,the principal from the educational, film,finding superman?

The screech of that pen/ marker.... I couldn't listen😬

Q&A: Part: 00:00 Q1: What is the video about? A1: The video is about how to get to the point when speaking and stop rambling in presentations and meetings, especially through virtual platforms like Zoom. Q2: What are the three types of thinking discussed in the video to help get to the point? A2: The three types of thinking discussed in the video are thinking in comparisons, thinking in directions, and thinking in stories. Q3: Why is thinking in comparisons important? A3: Thinking in comparisons is important because it highlights the important details and makes the point stand out. It helps to show the difference and makes it easier for the listener to understand and remember. Q4: What is the second reason for why people ramble and don't get to the point? A4: The second reason is that they lack direction, which can cause confusion in both literal and figurative ways. Q5: What is the importance of thinking in stories? A5: Thinking in stories is important because it helps to make the message more relatable and memorable to the audience. It also helps to create an emotional connection and engage the listener. Part: 04:31 Q1: What is the first rule of compounding according to Charlie Munger? A1: According to Charlie Munger, the first rule of compounding is to never interrupt it unnecessarily. Q2: How can visuals help in getting a point across? A2: Visuals can help in getting a point across by demonstrating the direction of the idea and condensing the point into a visual representation, which makes it easier for the audience to remember and understand. Q3: How can one ensure that their point is not just another cliche people say and move on? A3: To ensure that their point is not just another cliche people say and move on, one can think in the direction of which way people will go if they get the point, and demonstrate it visually. Q4: Why do people sometimes ramble when trying to explain a point? A4: People sometimes ramble when trying to explain a point because they don't have something to anchor their thoughts to or because they forget their point. Q5: What is the benefit of condensing points into visuals? A5: The benefit of condensing points into visuals is that it makes it easier for the mind to retrieve the information, and it is a lot easier to remember a visual representation than trying to remember a phrase. Part: 09:20 Q1: What is the benefit of using visuals in communication? A1: Using visuals in communication helps to anchor the points that you want to make and makes it easier for both you and your audience to remember them. It also makes it easier for the audience to understand the point being made since humans are visual animals and we learn better through visuals. Example: If you are giving a presentation on the benefits of a new product, using visuals such as charts and graphs can help the audience understand the data better and remember the key points of the presentation. Q2: What are the three types of thinking that can help with effective communication? A2: The three types of thinking that can help with effective communication are thinking in comparisons, thinking in directions, and thinking in visuals. Example: If you are trying to explain a complex process to your team, thinking in directions can help you break it down into smaller steps that are easier to understand. Q3: What is the difference between memorizing sentences and using visuals to remember points in communication? A3: When you memorize a sentence, you still need to retrieve what you want to talk about and what point you are trying to make. Using visuals, on the other hand, not only helps you remember what you want to talk about but also makes it easier for your audience to understand your point. Example: Instead of memorizing a script for a speech, you can create a visual representation of the key points you want to make and use that as a guide for your speech. Q4: How can using visuals in communication help to stop rambling? A4: Using visuals in communication can help you stay focused on the key points you want to make and prevent you from rambling. It also makes it easier for the audience to follow along and understand your point. Example: If you tend to ramble during meetings, creating a visual representation of the agenda can help you stay on track and ensure that everyone stays on topic. Q5: What can viewers do if they found the video helpful? A5: If viewers found the video helpful, they can give it a like and subscribe to the channel to support it. Example: If you found a tutorial on a new software program helpful, you can give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel to see more tutorials in the future.

How do you make your points punchy?
