Glen here, learning to hear a lesson from the listener’s side
I’m working on turning written lessons into natural spoken video. My background is contracting and close-up card magic, and I’m learning sales and clearer communication now. Chris’s post about the audience not seeing the seams got me thinking about rehearsal. I can know what a sentence means and still leave the listener missing a step. When you listen back to a practice recording, how do you check that the explanation makes sense to someone hearing it for the first time? Do you ask a listener to summarize it, or use another check?

Thanks, Jim. Those give me two separate things to listen for: the feeling the words create and whether they sound like the person I'm teaching. For a beginner lesson, I'd want someone to feel 'I can try this' and hear ordinary language rather than a manual being read aloud. That helps me make the review more specific.

Short written course lessons, Wolfram, rather than a textbook or a finished speaking script. They explain a practical task for the learner. What I’m trying to check is whether the spoken version gives them enough time and context to follow it. Using the lesson as a map, then showing a worked example, fits what I’m aiming for better than simply reading every sentence.

How to Write Speeches That Impact
Have you heard this episode with Simon Lancaster? Simon is a genius in scriptwriting and at one point got a bit fed up with other people getting the applause for his jokes. So he decided to do something about it; --> To step up on the stage as himself. And what a journey it has been! Listen to the episode and grab our free resource on scriptwriting based off of the episode here: https://www.skool.com/challenge-with-david-6528/classroom/9f627c93?md=080b243506874b3d858aa61b6bd7d62c

@Craig Gauvreau Craig, which of those six lessons made the biggest difference when you started using it in your own talks? I haven't listened to this episode yet. I'm working on making written lessons sound natural when spoken, so I'd like to hear what you could actually put into practice.

@Craig Gauvreau Thanks, Craig. The safety-talk example makes this practical for me, given my construction background. I like that you’re watching the audience rather than just checking whether you used a technique. I haven’t watched the Verona talk yet, but I now know which parts you found worth studying.

Updates on "Are Relationships For Suckers?"
Hi, everyone! On top of five professional 5-star reviews for my book, two more 5-star reviews from Increlo reviewers and a wonderful one from a business associate of my beloved's who then bought 2 more copies for those he knew needed it and the suggestion that it be taught in Catholic schools. It's #1 and #4 in two odd categories. It's also been translated into Chinese and Spanish and will be in the Hong Kong Book Fair catalog.

Belle, the Spanish translation caught my attention. I speak Spanish and work on books and teaching material. How did you check that the translated passages still sounded like you, especially where a personal story carries the point? I'd be interested in how you kept the voice consistent across the two versions.

What if everything we believed about career success is wrong!
What if everything we've come to believe about career success is wrong! Is it as simple as some say, HARD WORK and BUILDING EXPERTISE, or can we turn struggles into opportunity to find our path. This talk inspires the audience to think about their model for success and whether they have all the ingredients needed to achieve what they want. There is an added humor bonus arising from one of my props that was all over me by the end my video trials. https://youtu.be/Grb7IV8F3nE

Jim, I haven’t watched the talk yet, but your comment about pulling it together in a week and showing up caught my attention. I’m working on turning written material into spoken lessons. Since that feedback in June, have you found a way to rehearse that keeps the structure while making the delivery feel more like a conversation?

How are you using speaking in your work?
Some people speak with clients all day, others lead the team, others are in a lot of meetings. ..and some spend their time on social media content, webinars, networking events, ads.. ..So where is YOUR main speaking in your work?

Fredrik, regular meetings with the same small team give you a useful place to practice. Even finishing with 'here's the decision we need' can make an update clearer. What do you most want to improve in those meetings: keeping it concise, explaining an idea, or getting others involved?

For me it's sales conversations and learning to turn written material into clear video lessons. Construction taught me that an explanation has to help somebody do the next thing, not just sound knowledgeable. That's the part I want to carry into a lesson: one point, a concrete example and a clear place for the learner to begin.
