33 - How to speak so people listen


Listen Later

Have you ever felt not listened to?

Had what you said been ignored, even if it was important or a good idea?


If you are trying to build your visibility, get your message across, or persuade someone, not being listened to might feel like you are hitting a wall. Discouraging and frustrating.


Often, it’s not about you as a person, but about 1 simple thing.

The way you spoke didn’t grab their brains’ attention or triggered red flags up there.

And that can easily be fixed.


In today’s episode, I explore how to communicate in compelling ways and get your message across by leveraging human psychology. So you can feel confident that people will listen.


On the agenda:

👉 Communication & the human brain

👉 3 core ideas to speak in compelling ways


Enjoy this episode!


🔊 “Simplify what you say. Perhaps you heard this advice before: "Make it so easy to understand, even your grandma can make sense of it and explain it.”? That’s the idea. The human brain is built to look for threats. Anything that requires your brain to work hard to understand something is a threat. Your brain will be like: "Nope, not spending my calories on you peeps, bye bye. Go make someone else’s brain work hard."”

Curious? Let’s go! 🎧
