Mode 4: Explaining YT icon

Speaking to encourage clearer insights

  

Premise

If an effective speaker's core calling is encouraging audiences toward greater understanding, wisdom, explaining is the method of choice. Enduring insights, wisdom require thoughtful personal discovery.

 

Honoring Your Audience

Assumption: Every person in an audience is an audience. Each has many motivations (desires to participate in life) and a range of interests in how they will live life for the better. It takes courage to live life as who we really are – not the bravery needed in mortal combat, but a personal resolve to live life as it comes – in the moment... wherever we are... no matter what.

  

The Speaker's Role is to creat audience experiences where important insights – perceptions including knowledge, opinions, beliefs – can be considered, assessed and adjusted as each person chooses.

  

The Explaining Effect is the advancement of audience understanding – insight, "Aha!", wisdom – yielding an enduring change for the better. My VISA Models are how I construct explanations.
