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.
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.

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
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.
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!
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!
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?

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.
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.
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.
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!
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
by far my most favourite RU-vidr 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?
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!
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!)
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!!!!
