    Alan Alda generally doesn't like writing tips because he believes they can be mechanical and not effective in connecting with the audience. Instead, he advocates for a process that transforms a person's ability to communicate naturally. However, if pressed, he does have a few tips that he follows, which he calls the "three rules of three."
    These include only saying three important things when speaking to others, presenting a difficult idea in three different ways, and repeating a difficult idea three times throughout a talk.
    Alda emphasizes that these tips should not be treated as a checklist, but rather as part of a process of becoming a better communicator through developing a connection with the audience.

    Wow, just wow. Everyone should hear this. I work in the health field, and a lot of the times I get the feeling that care providers usually talk to the patient instead of with the patient saying things that the patient needs and what not. I see visually that the patient is not all caught up when the provider is making their closing remarks and then asks, "Do you have any questions?" It becomes a monologue and a sort of one sided lecture instead of communication. I very much dislike it, but that's what happens when people stick to protocol and reduce the patient to a number instead of a living breathing person, and also I'm afraid to say, sometimes even reduce the patient to a liability in fears of legal action, of coarse that's what I've gathered from talks but it could very well be my paradigm.

    This is great. Ty. I’m confused, tip number 3 was the same as number 2. Or did I hear you wrongly? 🤔

    • @cptfreeman8966
      @cptfreeman8966 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Tip 1 - Talk about 3 things at the most
      Tip 2 - Say it in 3 different ways
      Tip 3 - Reiterate it 3 times
      I guess you can say they can be considered the same but I think that ends up depending on how you articulate yourself in the situation

    Excellent actors and storytellers are fairly important to society, but over the Epochs, their places in the world have become eroded, warped, or marginalized.

      Interesting perspective! It's a bit counterintuitive since celebrities get so much attention. But they are also often disliked, and people who are good actors or storytellers but not famous can be disrespected. It would be interesting to compare the status accorded to actors and storytellers across epochs and locations.
