Es gibt bessere Wege und schlechte Wege, aber es gibt keinen richtigen Weg. Und wenn du dich darauf konzentrierst, es richtig zu machen, dann kommst du tatsächlich in den Weg, es gut zu machen. Your brain is like a CPU. If you have a laptop with lots of windows open, if you have a phone with lots of apps open, each one of those windows and apps is performing less well because the others are open.

It's just taking some of that bandwidth. And your brain works the same way. If I see this as a zero-sum game, there's a right way and a wrong way, that means I am constantly judging and evaluating everything I'm saying against whatever that standard is, which means I'm taking some of that precious cognitive bandwidth und es weg von dem, worauf es sich konzentrieren sollte, nämlich dem Publikum.

Also sage ich immer, es geht um Verbindung, nicht um Perfektion. Und das größte Home-Message davon ist, dass wir nicht memorieren sollten. Wenn du memorierst, hast du die richtige Art, es zu sagen geschaffen. Und du hast jetzt das Ding geschaffen, das du ständig vergleichst, um deine Bandbreite zu reduzieren. People then say, well, then how am I going to get through my material? Have a structure.

People then say, well, then how am I going to get through my material? Have a structure.

A structure is a roadmap. I might not know every word I'm going to say when I use what, so what, now what, but I know I'm going to go from what to so what to now what. It's just like when you are in a big major city, you can get from point A to point C, maybe not exactly in the most straight line, but you're going to get there because you have that general path laid out.

And that's what structure does. Let me give you a very concrete example. Viele Leute werden wirklich geflüstert und dislikieren kleine Reden. Und wir finden es sehr bedrohlich, sehr seltsam. Und es kommt zu einem Reframe. Wir wollen die am interessantesten Person im Raum sein.

Und ich habe von einem Gäste auf meinem Podcast gelernt, dass es nicht darum geht, interessant zu sein, sondern darum, interessiert zu sein.

And reframe it to being about connection, about being interested, rather than being right in the best. All of a sudden, small talk becomes easier, more enjoyable, and you can reap some great rewards. So this notion of reframing is really important in all of our communication.

Well, thank you. The podcast is called Think Fast, Talk Smart. The book is a derivative, Think Faster, Talk Smarter. There will be no Think Fastest or Talk Smartest. We're done with that. The podcast is all about communication skills and helping people employ those skills in their careers and in their lives. 20-minute episodes, bite-sized.
