Matt Abrahams: Spontaneous Speaking for Entrepreneurs, How to Communicate Confidently On the Spot | Human Behavior | E330

I'm using all this bandwidth to judge and evaluate and assess my perfection or lack thereof that I actually have very little bandwidth to actually do the communication. So when you give yourself permission to just get it done, I like to say it's about connection, not perfection.

If I just connect with the person, if I just convey my information, I then free up all this bandwidth that allows me to do it really well. So I end my very first class by saying, I told you to maximize mediocrity, and the reason is so you can achieve communication greatness. When we remove that pressure from ourselves to be right, to be perfect, we actually free up bandwidth to help us

Get the point across and do it well. And I'll just say one more thing. This is why memorizing is the enemy of communication success. And I know for many people, they're like, wait, wait, wait, wait. If I don't memorize, I'm lost. No, memorizing makes it harder to actually communicate because part of your brain is constantly assessing, am I saying what I had memorized?
