Story telling skills
“In an age full of information, the presentation of facts and figures often enters the left ear and passes through the right ear. Storytelling helps make the speaker's voice louder. And get the message across to the listener.
Written by Mr. Rawit, the story is arranged in order to attract the attention of the readers. It's a testament to how effective your storytelling skills are. It also adds storytelling tips from Harvard Business Review writer Carolyn O'Hara, as follows:
- Start with one idea
- Told through personal experience
- Be human, not superhuman.
- Emphasize the obstacles you encountered
- Don't make easy things difficult.
- Always practice first.
- Tell with pictures
Adaptation quotient
Although 50% of intelligence like IQ cannot be created as it comes from genetics but fortunately, adaptive intelligence like AQ can be trained.
There are 5 aspects of adaptation:
- Learn to adapt
- Modifying emotional response
- Social adaptation
- Creative adaptation
- Lifestyle modification
The first step in developing this skill is “self-awareness” so that we know what areas we are good at. What areas do we need to develop?
Organized thinking
“This world is full of knowledge. If we remember everything, it will be very useful. But in reality, we cannot remember everything. So we must practice thinking in an organized way. No matter the problem there will always be a solution.”
One way to help organize your thinking and answer questions well is to: “base of the pyramid” The rule of the pyramid, invented by Barbara Minto, works by thinking in vertical logic, which includes top-down and bottom-up coordination.
Top-down thinking is used to answer questions or persuade an audience. We already have all the answers and reasons. Then let us tell you the answer to this question. Followed by supporting reasons while bottom-up thinking is used to collect and analyze primary data. Summarize the information before crystallizing it into the main points.
This is only part of the book. There are many interesting skills available for you to learn and apply. So you can keep up with the ever-changing times.
