Everyone is busy, including your audience (work/social sites even at home) - they have places to be, people to see, and memes to share 😊 . So, if you start rambling, you'll lose their attention faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer. In fact, you only have seconds to grab their interest, so make it count! If you don't, you'll struggle to get back on track, like a GPS without a signal. But don't worry, here's the secret to speaking so people actually listen: master the art of the first 60 seconds and you'll be the star of the show, or at least the meeting. Good Morning 🌞 fellow LinkedIn professionals, Today my book reviews are on Chris Fenning's "The First Minute," (how to start conversations that get results) . You can learn how to captivate your audience's attention in just 60 seconds or less. It's like a magic trick, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, you'll pull a riveting conversation out of thin air. So, get ready to be the Houdini of communication and leave your audience spellbound. ✳ Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated✳ A study by Siemens enterprise communications found that a business with one hundred employees spends an average of seventeen hours a week clarifying communication. That is 884 hours a year that could be spent delivering value to customers by repeating information to make sure it's understood. to avoid these repetitions, every conversation should start clearly. Each conversation can be set up for success if #content ,#intent and message are clear.  How do we start a conversation that gets results in 60 seconds? ✅ #frame (Please Check slide) ✅ #Summarise ✅ #ask This book highlights: ✳ Be Direct: Don't beat around the bush like a cat trying to catch a laser pointer. Get straight to the point and capture your audience's attention like a squirrel stealing a nut. ✳ Be Relevant: Don't bore your audience with irrelevant information like a koala trying to discuss quantum mechanics. Stick to topics that are interesting and useful to them. ✳ Be Memorable: Don't be forgettable like a book without a title. Use vivid language, anecdotes, and examples to leave a lasting impression on your audience. ✳ Be Engaging: Don't just talk to your audience like a parrot reciting a script. Involve them in the conversation, ask questions, and listen to their responses like a good therapist. ✳ Be Concise: Don't ramble on like a politician trying to filibuster. Keep your message clear and concise, like a tweet from a witty celebrity. Remember, brevity is the soul of wit! ✅ Lesson: Make the other person feel heard and understood.
