How to Be Clear and Concise

One of the best ways to improve your communication skills is practice being clear and concise. Especially today with many virtual meetings, people have a shorter attention span. That means you need to get to your point. This video by Lighthouse Communications introduces a helpful structure that you can use in your meetings and conversations to make your point crystal clear.

[@StrongwillGameTheory]

I didn't want to click like, because, I didn't wanna share this gold mine of a channel. But, I changed my mind. I not only liked but I subscribed. Thank you for the free lesson. I would not mind promoting this to my humble channel.

[@lhctraining]

Thank you for subscribing! Please share. I create these videos to help people deliver stronger content in their presentations, emails, conversations, AND their KZbin videos.

[@SamuelGuebo]

Truly impressed by the brevity and clarity of this video. Thanks for taking the time to produce it.

[@Michael_Schlapp]

I love your videos. I have been using them in my classes and my students feel like they are learning something practical and useful! Thanks a lot Lighthouse Communications!

[@lhctraining]

That makes my day! If you have any topics that you think would be helpful to cover, let us know!

[@alexwilliamsmotivates]

you have a gift of making the complex simple!

[@lhctraining]

Thank you for the compliment! I hop to make the complex simple but not reduce it to a cartoon.

I am now entering the Grade 12 experience which is much harder than Grade 11 here in the Philippines. And this 3 minute video literally explained the concise and clear communication very well! And the problem I was having the reason I searched this up is I always get picked as the leader of a group by teachers and classmates. I had to step up and learn so that it won't be too pressuring for me due to lack of knowledge. But now this lesson gave me hope in improving my leadership and communication skills. Thank you so much, Lighthouse Communications! ❤️

[@annericketts7061]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! Best of luck this year in the 12th grade.

Clarity and concision, you really nailed it. For "Brevity is the soul of wit". Shakespeare

[@lhctraining]

Love that quote!

[@khushbufatima6132]

I have a webinar to conduct tomorrow and thanks to you I got the confidence to do it from the entire office :)

[@lhctraining]

You got this!

[@tashamac7300]

This is so good. Thank you

[@lhctraining]

You’re welcome, Tasha!

[@erinmeggik391]

Glad I found this video. Anyhow I grew up with 3 perhaps 4 TV channels and believe communication was better by far than what we have in 2022. IMO people are more distracted than ever and technology well... 😂

[@lhctraining]

True! Hopefully, if we can capture someone’s attention, we can pull them into a deeper conversation. Thanks for the comment, Erin.

[@atzelcollazo4475]

This channel is amazing.

[@lhctraining]

Thank you Ebelechukwu!

[@amaarmarco530]

Wow it has been 3 years and you still gorgeous

[@lhctraining]

You are too kind!

[@lilianaliloy3268]

Excellent!! Great video!!

[@lhctraining]

Thank you very much!

[@cabronas09]

Anybody I talk to will complain that I make no sense/doesn't add up. This should do the trick! Thanks

[@lhctraining]

It takes practice. Logical thinking and speaking logically are two different things. And who knows which one happens first?

[@downbeatresolutionstudio1875]

Oh My God. I was sucked in at the first word. You are excellent at this. GPS is a familiar analogy

[@lhctraining]

So great to hear this analogy caught your interest!

[@devdattadalvi7818]

You are talented and beautiful and your tips are Top of the World!

[@lhctraining]

Glad to hear!

[@diggiops8977]

Thank you. I 'm also going to use this when I'm instructing my child.

[@lhctraining]

I do this also! 😊

[@drjmapple5510]

Better idea: Teach your child how to use it.

[@elisatseng6286]

This is brilliant!

[@lhctraining]

Thank you Elisa!

Thanks Jake. Spread the word!

Thank you so much! :)

[@lhctraining]

Welcome so much, Shreya!

[@laprepper]

I tend to ramble in person sometimes, it’s a hard habit to break but I’m working on it

[@lhctraining]

I get it: when we are with friends and family, it’s normal to talk through our thoughts and then eventually say our point. But when it really matters, it’s important to take a moment to silently think through our thoughts so when we speak we put our point first and foremost.

[@jeandcarvalho3916]

Hay Anne, I am what I thank you for. For your comment and for interacting with me, in a sincere display of warmth, kindness and affection. I have no words to express my feelings about this. I'm Dorgival Dantas Brito From São Paulo Brasil

[@lhctraining]

Thank you for all the comments, Dorgival! So happy to share effective communication skills with the KZbin audience!

[@Shetriesitdiy]

You are ahmazinggggggggg!

[@lhctraining]

[@openclassusa3534]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!

[@lhctraining]

Thank you!

[@manishk1140]

Superb, the. Basics which isn't taught in the corporate world

[@lhctraining]

Thanks Manish!

[@ltboogie3507]

Thank you

[@lhctraining]

Very welcome LT!

[@jammingpositivevibration]

You speak proper English 👌, i will use this structure

[@lhctraining]

Yes, intentionally structured information and will virtually help anyone clearly communicate.

[@abumohammadrohed5771]

Good video

[@lhctraining]

Thank you for your comment!

[@dilaradeneve4069]

This is more: what, why, next steps (practical) to me but good video.

[@lhctraining]

I agree. But doesn't have quite the same ring. Lol.

[@henrik9845]

It also helps to get your message across if you're crazy hot...

[@lhctraining]

I’ll take that compliment and reinforce that mastery of communication takes practice and hard work. I hope to build a world where everybody is not only confident to share their voice but also brave enough to listen to everybody’s voice.

[@Shafeek258]

Which video of matt abrahams have you heard about this structure

[@lhctraining]

It’s most recently featured in his book, “Think Fast, Talk Smart.” Great book! Highly recommended.

[@jyegovan-smith4111]

waht

[@lhctraining]

Truht!

[@vitaminb4869]

The structure and all is great, but that doesn't eliminate the clutter and the convoluted spider web that comes out, trying to explain a subject.

[@lhctraining]

I hear you. Simplifying complex ideas is hard. Sounds like you might need to build a presentation to explain your ideas in more depth. To help your audience focus, consider what’s relevant to them and your objective. This will help you determine the top priority talking points. These talking points will really shine with this structure. Does that help?

[@kjaanishji2595]

Why don’t you teach with many examples, contrasting less concise sentences with those more concise

[@lhctraining]

Great idea, Kjaan. Look for this in future videos.

[@niteeshbihade1789]

Thank you!

[@lhctraining]

You’re welcome Niteesh!
