How to organize your thoughts when speaking

[@rihansaz]

Nice points! Learned a lot. Thank you! I saw these techniques used by Barack Obama! I was impressed at that time, how he organized such an energic topic so simply! Now I can see the link between your thoughts and his speech.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Glad you liked this Sahan! Nice connection with Obama's speech 💬 👌 I should do another video on this! Thanks for watching 👀

"Climate Change Crisis" is a political agenda. Total corruption and the sheep drink for the Kool-Aid.

[@王刘琴]

1.use quotes 2.use intentional visuals 3.end with a simple action

[@LeoLandaverde]

Learning how to organize your thoughts is such a valuable skill people often overlook practicing!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Right!?! We just think if we can't do it we are just not good at it. Totally agree Leo

[@FELIPEBOLANOS1]

Anchoring credibility is a great start. Speed and velocity are excellent to have. Thank you.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Glad you like it Felipe

[@ateeqahmed3395]

I really appreciate how organized and well-structured your explanation is. It not only makes complex ideas easy to understand but also brings a sense of clarity and direction to the discussion. Your approach definitely helps in streamlining the thought process.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Aww thank you for saying so. Having this process down has changed what my mind can process. It's like getting 10GB of extra storage in my brain lol Thank you for watching!

[@ksoonsoon]

Although this video was created years ago, I just watched it today and found it very very helpful. Interesting that in the video that is about how to communicate better, you do such a fantastic job of communicating. I am sure that is one of the reasons why your subscription count continues to grow. Your videos are very easy to watch and very easy to learn from. Excellent work

[@YesToTech]

These tips are pure gold! Absolutely adored your advice Vicky! Can't wait to try this out!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Yesss let met know how you go with these!!

[@marcusjhwang]

Love your videos. Very authentic without fluffy editing. Compact content. 👍

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thank you for watching and for saying so!!! 🙏

[@bill_jennings]

Three simple items, each one brilliant! Thanks Vicky. I needed this. I've always been challenged, even when speaking in front of small groups of people I know. But I do believe that if I employed these three items, I'd be so much more organized and thus, more coherent to the audience.

My notes: How to organize your thoughts when speaking At time: 00:00 Communicating ideas effectively is crucial for success. Using quotes can help establish credibility, get straight to the point, and anchor your message. Intentional visuals, such as showing contrast and change, can help illustrate your point and give context. Being concise and avoiding rambling can help maintain audience interest. Inviting experts to speak or using their quotes can further enhance your credibility. At time: 04:08 Visuals are effective in conveying information as our brains process them faster than words. Visuals also aid in recall and help the audience and speaker remember important points. Using visuals to show change and contrast can help establish credibility and organize thoughts in a presentation. Ending a presentation with a simple action item that aligns with human behavior and consistency bias can be more effective than a complex one. A simple action item can help establish long-term credibility and reinforce the importance of the presentation's message. At time: 08:21 After giving a talk, it's important to give the audience something simple to commit to, creating a consistency bias towards action. Reminders about the commitment can be prompted by external events, such as news stories. The commitment should be easy enough to do so that people don't feel overwhelmed. Use quotes, visuals, and an action step at the end to help organize thoughts and create impact. The speaker has another video on how to articulate thoughts and create impact, and encourages viewers to give a thumbs up and subscribe. **** Tips on effective communication including using quotes to open, intentional visuals to show change and contrast, and ending with a strong action item. 00:00 The world rewards those who communicate their ideas effectively. 00:00 The best ideas aren't always communicated by the best communicators. 00:02 Using quotes to open helps to skip unnecessary rambling.00:19 Intentional visuals that show change and contrast are processed faster by the brain.00:25 Visuals also help with recall.01:03 Ending with a strong action item is important.05:45 Showing change and contrast is crucial for effective communication. 06:03 When giving a talk, it is important to consider the audience and leave them with a simple action item that they can easily commit to. This creates a consistency bias, where people feel compelled to act in line with their previous commitments. This can help establish credibility in the long term. The speaker suggests using quotes, visuals, and an action step at the end to organize your thoughts effectively. A simple example is bringing your own bag to the grocery store to combat climate change. The speaker encourages viewers to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to their channel. 06:25 Consider the audience and leave them with a simple action item 06:25 Creating consistency bias helps establish credibility in the long term 06:48 Use quotes, visuals, and an action step at the end to organize your thoughts effectively 06:44 A simple action step example to combat climate change is bringing your own bag to the grocery store 06:54 Encouragement to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel 09:42

Speed vs. velocity!! OMG, thanks!

Best KZbin channel. The titles alone are elevating humanity.

[@sandyj342]

Highly underrated channel.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

😭 thank you for the encouragement ❤️

[@linhflores1655]

Vicky, your videos are AWESOME! I learned more in watching 2 of your videos than I did in my college communication courses. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a practical way. I am giving a presentation next month. I am definitely using the tips you provided.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thank you Linh this made my day! It's exactly what I'm trying to do - share the practical side of communication so we can all go out there and get our message across! Good luck with the presentation!

[@PhoenixMediaProductionsTimothy]

Thank you for making this Vicky! I really appreciate your point about using mental images as an anchor.

[@SherifaNakalema]

Loved it! That's why I use a board in my KZbin videos. For clarity and to help me remember. This video will help many. Thanks!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thanks Sherifa!! Love the way you engage in your videos. I should set up a board too haha

[@TotallySafeAir]

Thank you for your teachings. I need to get to the point in my presentations for the company.

[@beccawood7291]

Great information and very helpful. I love the use of visuals - they help me understand better. They also help me with recall.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thank you Becca!! Glad you like the visuals

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

[@ArunMPEdison]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Excellent and Rich examples.

[@positivepranic]

That was very helpful. In order to bring your point across when speaking organizing your thoughts is so important. The way you broke it down and the examples you gave are very helpful. Thank you.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

I've so glad you like the examples. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

This was such a helpful video. I am a very visual person and the idea of having slides to trigger my points is great.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Yay for meeting another visual person :D

[@LapisLazuli458]

Thank you for sharing this incredible, revealing and inspiring knowledge. I love your videos🙏

[@geemtime1725]

Your content is high quality, so much that it doesn’t need fancy editing. Keep going, we’re all intrigued. I’ve actually been influenced by you to do my mba Thank you kindly

[@SelfLeadershipGlobal]

Great tips! I lose patience quickly when someone goes off on tangents. I love the tip on using the quote to stay focused.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Haha same here! What a world we live in with all the goldfish attention spans

[@yaliyu01]

Very easy to follow. I love amassing quotes. Looking back, i often start rambling on an idea before a quote pops into my mind that perfectly encapsulates the point i want to make. I never thought to consciously start with a quote. I guess by listening more in the convo and focusing on making connections to other ideas, by the time it's my turn to speak i can have a quote in the fore-front that will be impactful. Thanks! P.S. The consistency bias thing is soo real, i definitely feel it too.

[@chocopieomg]

you are such an inspiration! I wish to speak like you!!!!

[@WhimsicalFamilyLife]

This is helpful as a KZbin creator! Organizing thoughts helps reduce babble:) Thank you!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thanks for checking this out!!

[@SixFigureBusinessCoaching]

This is such a cruel skill to learn! Really good quote at the beginning!

Great suggestions Vicky, thank you for sharing. happy new year!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thanks for checking this our Carina, happy hew year to you too!!

[@SeetalMD]

just to add, i love your visual point too. i learnt it on the SILVA meditation method.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

That's so interesting!! Meditation has so many great techniques that can be applied outside of it

[@PjIkner82]

You are such a help. Seriously thank you and blessings to you and yours

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thank you for watching!! Really appreciate you sharing the encouragement with me :D

[@RochelleCheever]

As a visual storyteller (a photographer), I guess I'm lucky with strong visuals. But still have issues articulating my visions with words:) Your videos help me a lot!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Photos (art in general) often convey so much better than words that can end up sounding cheesy. It's the balance right?

[@intentionalliving7326]

I love this! It is so helpful when creating content for KZbin as well! Thank you for sharing this and for illustrating it so well with his video 🤩

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Glad you like it Elona!

[@mm_ww_2]

I really like your videos about communication.

[@makimoussavi]

[@WealthProtectionLady]

This is great for me because I can't even make a KZbin video without a teleprompter.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Yeah so many people say the same things!! Something about talking to the camera that makes us freeze up right? Let me know if this process helps!!

[@VideoToGrow]

Very interesting tips , thanks !

[@gemini_537]

Gemini 1.5 Pro: The video is about how to organize your thoughts when speaking. The speaker, Vicky Zhao, argues that the world rewards people who are good at communicating ideas, and provides three tips to help you improve your communication skills. The first tip is to use quotes to open your speech. Quotes can help you concisely express your idea, establish your credibility, and prime the audience for what you want to talk about. The second tip is to use intentional visuals. Visuals can help you process information faster and remember things better. When using visuals, make sure to show change and contrast to give context to your point. The third tip is to end your speech with a simple action item. People are more likely to remember and follow through on an action item if it is simple and easy to do. Ending with an action item can also help you establish credibility in the long term, because people will be reminded of your talk every time they complete the action item.

Thank you Lindsay!!

[@raycebannon6374]

Happy New Year Vicky - your info was solid; however, similar to Social Confidence Mastery, I zone out when there is continuous talking without the visuals and colors changing. Though I'm able to sit still when ready a book - go figure.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Haha so interesting how we are conditioned for different types of stimulus depending on the medium right? Happy new year to you too Rayce!

This was great. Thank you.

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

Hi, I always speak on the spot without any preparation

[@lilydaugherty4652]

How do you find that first quote? And how do you convince them into being willing into listen or understand

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Thanks for watching Lily!! I found the first quote on Twitter one day (I use my Obsidian to track the quotes I like and when I’m making a video or presentation, I search my own quote database!)

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

In terms of convincing others - I choose a quote either from an authority figure that the audience will most likely identity with and/or pick quotes that deliver an insight that’s counterintuitive (like the one in my video) so people are hooked and want to find out more! What context are you thinking about for the convincing?

[@playbunny.]

Isnt language system learned by expressing thoughts in a linear fashion starting words followed by variable order and conclusion by the end of a finishing sentence? Like E in your head starts explaination until the thought and sentence is complete? People jump start their thoughts in clusters?

[@LawrenceChung]

thank you Vicky, its something I can use in my toastmaster speeches

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

omg toastmaster! Haha I remember doing those

[@SergioValdez]

great content, thank you!

[@SeetalMD]

by far my most favourite KZbinr I follow from YT4B. however, i dont always remember quotes though i remember the key points of what the incredible authors or successful people have said. so would reiterating their message work instead of quoting word for word for what they have said?

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Of course, make it work for you! I recommended quotes because it's usually the way they phrase the idea that make it punchy. But that's definitely not always the case so feel free to reiterate their point!

[@BlessedOne686]

Dope🔥

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Do you use these 3 tools to organize your thoughts?

[@namelessentitywatchingyou8439]

Thanks for making these videos 😊 i was actually trading so much time to treat the books you explain but getting an explanation from you is fantastic 😊

Its so bad that I stutter 😭

[@MrAskOnce]

Is this informative or a plug for climate change. FFS.

[@byroncascante6088]

I love your content and there is some extremely interesting things in your brain. But this is extremely confusing. You talk about communicating diferent things like an explenation, a persuasive message, a story, an argument... and you give us tools that I don't think perfectly work with everything that we are trynna say; but won't specify it either. But it might has something to do with the fact that I haven't slept in like 40 hours

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

40 hours!!?? I hope you got some sleep after this 💤 let me know what you mean by the tools don’t perfectly work with everything we’re trying to say and thanks again for watching my videos!!!!

[@SahitiSeemakurti]

you know it's ironic that you talk about how to talk effectively, but you yourself beat around thebush and are not very organized . your videos can be more organized. with less filler words. maybe write the script first. the way you naturally talk does not flow smoothly

[@theobserver8881]

This video is very ironic.

[@esalinas916]

Unfortunately, this rambling was not helpful

it's 2023 and people still can't help themselves from saying um dozens of times in a 10-minute youtube video
