Why 99% Of People Struggle To Make A Great Impression

Why 99% Of People Struggle To Make A Great Impression

Why do 99% of people at work struggle to make a great impression? 

  • They don’t know the secrets to speaking in a way that gets people to listen
  • They ramble
  • They don’t open up enough about their personal lives

Before I learned these speaking secrets, I missed out on opportunities to build meaningful relationships with colleagues and customers. I missed out on forming alliances with key partners. I was forgotten by executives. 

After years of studying great speakers, I learned the key framework that helped me solve all of these problems, which helped me elevate to the Head of Business Development at a software company. I made a new video that shows you that framework so you can do the same for your career. In short, it’s:

  • Answer First (0 - 1:22): A BLUF (bottom line up front) that directly answers the question
  • Transition (1:23 - 2:14): A segue into a short story
  • Action (2:15 - 3:42): A detailed action or emotion that represents the pinnacle of the story
  • Takeaway (3:43 - end): What you want them to remember

If you want to become a more confident and compelling speaker, The Impromptu Speakers Academy is my 20-day program to help you master speaking frameworks with daily practice and live coaching. Enrollment is open now.
