Your videos are a Godsend, My speaking has improved so much. beyond greatful since starting to watch your videos thank you so much
Thank YOU Jonathan!!! I'm so glad this is useful for you!! Really appreciate you sharing it with me :D
Thinking in Comparisons
Thinking in / Knowing the direction
Anchoring good for retrieving, instead of a sentence
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!
Wow the last point, to think in visuals, really drove everything home. Thank you! 🏠💡
I actually feel as though this video needed to get to the point more effectively.
She gave the overarching point and relevant examples and detail ?
I agree.
💀
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.
Watch your mouth when you talk about my wife’s content.
One suggestion. Practice, practice, practice. Also record your practice sessions, and watch them. Instant feedback.
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.
so helpful! I tend to ramble, especially when I get extremely excited about something
Haha I do the same. Just want to underline how exciting something is a few times haha
Thank you! I love how you speak so crystal clear in your videos and it really helps!
Your tips on how to stop rambling and get to the point are pure gold!! Can't wait to put this into practice! Thanks so much for sharing Vicky! :)
Thanks for checking this out! Let me know how it goes
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.
Thanks Vicky I need this! Watching now
You have great insights.
Also the "out-of-the-box" rationale and reasoning of your content are phenomenal! Thank you, Vicky!😊💪
Thanks Vicky for the insights! Very useful!
I've always had trouble speaking on camera so this was so helpful! I love how you break this down into really simple terms
Being able to remember one simple thing is so much more valuable than trying to get fancy right? Hard lesson I've learned over the years haha
This blew my mind 🙌🏽 keep it up!! your content is so unique 🌈
Excellent video. Thank you for uploading😊
Your content has improved my confidence around speaking. Please keep the videos coming.
Where have you been all my professional life!? Thank you for these great videos!
Glad to the algorithm connected us haha thank you for watching and let me know how you go.
TH-cam 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!
Haha TH-cam knows us better than we think?!?! Welcome to the fam and yes aliterations are another great tool! You're so attentive to the details 👏
These are awesome tips to talk and get to the point! Definitely gonna try them out next time I record a video :)
Thank you this is so helpful!! Love your channel, so glad I have come across you.
Thank you Megan!! Welcome and thank you for sharing that with me :D
OH MY GOODNESSSSS This is SO important. Being in the speaking industry myself - it's CRAZY how easy it is to tell if someone is executing on this effectively or not. Seriously, GET TO THE POINT! Great video
Totally agree!!
Thank you for your kindness and positivity!
Thank you for sharing that with me
Thanks for your videos! Greetings from Brazil
Vicky, your videos are awesome , they have unlocked blockages to my meetings next week
So great to hear!!! Glad the algorithm connected us haha
Greetings from East Africa 🙌
This is so perfect for all the zoom meetings going on now!
Yess!! Funny how we can never make eye contact on Zoom. You're either looking at the camera (and therefore not seeing anyone at all) or you're looking at the screen and therefore not making eye contact with anyone
Awesome organization of ideas!
Excellent pointers- accessible and concrete. Thanks Vicki
Thank you for checking it out!!
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.
Wow well said!! Love that you bring the context of the universe into this simple concept. Fundamentals are everything
Your lesson here is one that I take wherever I make a speech. Thanks so much!
Oh yay Jinhee, so glad to hear that! Let me know how your speech goes :D
I feel like planning is truly the most important part here! Really good guide.
So true!
Thank you for these lessons. I do appreciate how you made these tips practical. Im tired of hearing the same things here on TH-cam. What you have here is fresh, at the same time very helpful for me. Thank you so much!
Thank you Gwyneth!! Really appreciate it :) Glad you like the content and if you ever have anything you want to learn more about, please let me know :D
Great video
Vicky BEEAMP ;) good job!
Thank you! 😁
Damn Vicky.. Smart & Bang`in ! Here comes my call to action... Holla at your boy..
Thanks for the video. Nice work, keep up the effort!
Thank you Jialin!! Appreciate it 😀
I am so happy I found your channel (: ❤️
Aw thanks Esther! So happy you're here!
Thank you for the tips. These can be helpful.
Glad you liked the tips Brandee!
The noise of that pen!!!
Yes 😢😢😢 hope you can get a whiteboard❤❤❤ I love your content
Truly helpful tips!👍🏼👍🏼 Adding visuals was a HUGE keypoint for me from this video. I started getting a lot of ideas how to improve my TH-cam content and help me be more clear! Thank you!🥰
Glad it was helpful! Visuals are an easy way to instantly improve engagement and recall!!
The compounding graphs was a great example! very clear and helpful video 💪🏻
So glad you liked the graph! It still blows my mind that a few strokes can communicate complex ideas. Working on improving my visuals as well 🙌
I love the content of your video, but I cannot take the sound of marker scratching on the board. Can you remove those sounds?
I loved this video. It would take practice. I think understanding your audience is also very important! Thank you!
Thank you Sherifa! Understanding the audience is the foundation 🤓
Amazing this is a video about not rambling......
Thanks you for your idea
Thank you 😊
Thank you, lot of learning from your video. What books do you recommend to look in to the art of presentation. I am really bad at getting the visual part(Point 3 in your presentation). Please do a video on how to get the perfection in the visual communication part.
How to get to the point? And it took you the first 30 seconds just to say THAT.
Ha! I immediately thought, "I ramble all the time.":)This resonates & is totally helpful, thank you. I will think about these for awhile & hopefully use them , i.e. comparisons. P.S. You are great on camera, personality, speech, delivery of message.
Implementing this is easier than you think! Just a mindset shift from information sharer to storyteller!
Very helpful.
Glad you liked this video!!
You are really a fabulous teacher ✨
Appreciate it 🙏 glad you liked this!
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 TH-cam. 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.
Could be a shorter video to help get to the point.
Perfect teacher it is ❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👑👑👑
Let m know if there's any other topic you want me to cover! Thank you for checking out these videos Samson!!
Hello vicky, your explanation is so amazing , thanks a lot that I just found you because you have punch me too hard to fall in like and subscribe your blog. God bless
I'm so glad Talitemsu! Let me know if you have questions along the way and keep me posted on how these tips work out for you!!
Oh lord...I need to take a class on this cuz I ramble a lot.
Hi Vicky, I followed all your talks and really appreciate your sharing. It’s really relevant and effective. Singapore is now looking for many foreign talents to help boost our economy and it pays very well. What don’t you consider finding out more and coming over here to survey the market . I feel that you should not miss such a good opportunity, we also need thinking people like you to join the talent pool 😊❤
Thank you Dave 🙏 this means a lot! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Succinctly summed up
Appreciate it!
Need to share this to my dad
Hahhaha my dad told me rambling is good for his mental health lol
Oh , cant find tutorials how to expand answers in order to get a high score especially in task 2 of an ielts speaking
Great job here, Vicky. Helping people communicate effectively is what I have devoted the past 20 years to. My YT channel is an outgrowth of that. Keep up the great work!
So curious what do you usually use to make points more succinct and punchy?
Just keep it short and blunt.
I love the video, though the marker to paper is giving me major skin crawls
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.
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!
Are you ,the principal from the educational, film,finding superman?
The screech of that pen/ marker.... I couldn't listen😬
How do you make your points punchy?
Sorry, can’t listen to the marker scraping the paper…
Almost ALL TH-camrs ramble. Drives me crazy.
Haha gotta drive up that watch time
My gosh. Pls don't use marker on paper. The sound is off putting & I shut out. So much for getting to the point.
You too rumble while trying to explain rumbling
Good lord, you’re rambling about being succinct.
The fact this video is over 10 minutes tells me this woman doesn’t practice what she preaches.
Hot mamma😍😘
Isn't this why men don't listen? Women don't get to any point.......
You can't remember what you're saying in a zoom meeting?
LOLWUTT
Very informative. Keep up the good work!
Glad you liked this Vincent! Hoping to see you again in the comments section for other videos hehe
