#3164: Don't Be "Too Smart" For Your Audience

About this episode

In this class, I’m talking to anyone who presents to an audience—whether you’re a speaker, teacher, lawyer, or student. The message is simple: don’t try to be “too smart” for your audience. I explain what that means and how trying to sound impressive can actually hurt your ability to connect and communicate. My job is to share knowledge in a way you can use, and I want to make sure you can do the same when it’s your turn to share your message. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [07:06]#1 Many people have a bad habit of trying to prove to everyone else how smart you are, and this is done incorrectly.  [14:27]#2 College degree holders are the most susceptible to this bad habit and you are the most guilty of executing on this bad habit.  [19:43]#3 My superpower is my ability to take a complex topic, break it down, and make it simple enough for a fifth grader to understand it.  [25:29]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1738: Brevity: The Skill Of Making Your Point Without Talking TOO MUCH Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!
