- ☞ This is a 19 minutes top-up video for a module in a programme I teach called BOM.
☞ It covers essential skills that you need to successfully speak in a way that is memorable and clear - you do want people to remember you and what you are promoting or selling, especially yourself and the value that you can add or create.
☞ You will need 2 sheets of A4 and a pen for some short exercises.

What's interesting about this video?
- the thinking tool presented to structure your thinking: cloud diagram
- the thinking routine used as example: "what's interesting about [...]?"
- the use of actual notebook and markers to film the video
He only has 2 videos and never upload more :(
I would love to know what others strategies he as for thinking with structure
Exactly what i was searching for .. for 3 yrs.
Oh wow! What have you been trying to achieve for these last 3 years? Let me know if I can help you refine your technique and be even more successful.
It's Mind Mapping which utilizes the left and right brain at the same time. It makes use of visuals to aid the thinking process
Now, I want to go back to Kuching🙂 Love the way how this is 'structured'. Perfect for any situation, and also helps my two sides of brain.....Thanks!
Great to hear you found it useful. Tell me when you do get to Kuching 😆
Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video, this is exactly what I wanted to learn.
If you have other videos related to this topic, please do share.
Glad that you found it useful. If you could share with me what you want to use your new learning to achieve, I will use that to start thinking about creating some mroe videos as I teach most of it live.
I saw a foreigner who wrote the question : what is Kuching?
Therefore, in your focus, you must include definitions, two possibilities, 1. The animal that miaus and is a destructive creature which should not be allowed into the house as it carry illnesses with it. e. g. If a woman is pregnant and keeps the Kuching in the house, there is a high probability that the child could be born deformed and of Special needs. Please see the Harvard Faculty of Medicine research paper on the dangers of illnesses cat borne.
2. If we are talking about the geographical location called Kuching, in the State of Sarawak, we now have an interesting place to visit. Why?
1. The People are nice, with beautiful hearts, inherited from tradition, cultural tinges, and their religious beliefs.
2. Historical events.
Geographical outstanding locations, fishing and canoeing, other outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, etc.
Food, because it is so delicious, we should practice restrain, unless you want to be Gemok!
Ahahahahaaa … 😂 , you made me chuckle out loud. Thank you. And to what do you owe your extensive knowledge about this small little town tucked away in remote Borneo?
🎉a rewards with love to you sir
Thank you sir!
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it of value to you
Amazing amazing technique.
Happy that you found something that is working for you. Now, go and amaze the world with confident structured answers every-time you speak about anything. Come back and share what happened.
Simple but brilliant technique. Thank you
I am delighted that you found it really works for you.
This is useful and can be implemented in our day to day to interactions. Thanks.
Great to hear Rahul! Do share with me any stories where it has worked for you and produced the results you wanted.
I've been looking for this, for years
I am delighted that you found this video useful. I would love to hear what you wanted this skill for? Or examples of how you successfully used it.
@@francisjeenot op, but I can hazard a guess.
Probably clarity.
Clarity is so, so valuable, for those of us who struggle to articulate, for who always overthinks.
This is the antidote.
@@crix_h3eadshotgg992 To make a finer distinction, clarity is the experience or the feeling. What the 'template' structure does is that it removes the brain overload that comes from processing the question, processing possible responses, processing decision making, processing to keep all of that in short term memory, processing output, and processing the emotional load (if you are stressed or nervous). This approach gives an intuitive structure for storing and retrieval - important for speaking off the cuff, and the time compression prevents paralysis by analysis (using editing to refine instead; which is easier)
🎉Penang one better. Why not uploading more videos? This video is helpful
Hi momotaro0410. I'm glad you found this video helpful. As for doing more videos, I have been keeping that at the back of my mind now . . . for quite a while. Tell me - what would you like to be able to do better? What would help you be more successful? Maybe I'll be inspired to do one in response to your ideas.
Very nice video sir thankyou..great respect!
I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
You, with respect, should expand this simple system into a discussion of Descartes 6 meditations and beyond.
Ahhh, I suspect your estimation of my abilities exceed the reality of what I can/feel like doing! You are most kind. Maybe something easier?
Although it’s in German, but if you‘d like to see a Visualization of Descartes Meditations, you should check out „Denkwelten Descartes“ from the german philosopher Gregor Betz 😅
Thank you. It really helps.
Really help
I'm glad you found the the structure and process helpful. Do share with me how you used it and how it has helped you. Remember, during the early stages of learning a new skill, quantity is more important than quality of practice. So don't get hung up if you don't get it perfect initially. All the best!
I'm really happy I came in contact with this video, it's totally improved my speaking framework. More videos please. Thanks 👍🏼
@@Mfonyoung I am delighted that you found it practical and can be applied immediately. As for more videos, I've been thinking about doing another one for . . . . years.🤣 I'll get to it one day. I still waiting to be inspired by something.😆
Amazing technique
Go use it - I hope it helps you succeed. Would love to hear your stories.
Thank you so much for this helpful lecture :)
I am glad you found it helpful. Now go and use what you have learnt to create success for yourself!
More videos about this topic please 🙏
Ahaha - OK, I will do more videos if there is more demand. I am glad you found it valuable/useful.
How would you structure your thoughts when talking about the topics? How much detail do you go into? Is there a structure to follow? Thanks! Found this video helpful 👍🏽
I am delighted you found the video helpful for you. As for how to structure your thoughts when you are talking about the topics - the way to think about it is as though you are having a conversation with someone in a coffee shop and your conversation has taken you to a topic. Just chat about it. You were the one who decide/chose the topic. Just say however much or little that you can about the topic. you will be surprised what your right brain can dredge up from the recesses of your mind and bring it into the 'conversation'.
Great one!
Thank you! Cheers!
Valuable technique
Great content
I'm glad you found it valuable
Thanks. Great video!
I'm glad you found value in the video. Feel free to share with your friends. And do let me know what else you want a quick and effective way to learn it.
This is very helpful, I’ve recently been trying to learn how to organise my thoughts and convey them more coherently.
Do you have any other content similar to this which perhaps goes into more depth and covers wider topics?
Hi Stevie, I'm glad you found this video useful. I produced this one in response to a specific need. So, if you you messaged me on LinkedIn about a specific need you have, or a skill you need, I'll definitely think about how I can design something.
thank you
You are most welcome - Matthew. Do share what you value about this technique, or how you are using it to help you succeed.
What would you recommend if I wanted to focus on 1 main topic? In a conversation or video I feel like it’s unnatural for me to say I’m going to talk about 3 things. How would I structure it in that case?
Hi Jake,
1. Your point about feeling it is unnatural is common amongst my learners who are just starting out. And of course it feels unnatural as it is not something you would usually do, or prefer to do. A little like crossing your arms - if you do it with the other arm on top. I am quite certain your listeners would not notice it as unnatural.
2. As you are practicing and getting this to be an automatic approach toward speaking off the cuff, keeping the numbering in place. This is to help your brain stay organised. Once it is a habit and part of the way you speak, you can if you choose to, omit the numbering. When I am inclined to keep things open ended, I might say "there are a number of/several issues that are relevant here" and then reel off whatever topics that come to mind.
3. I hear your point that you wish to only speak on one topic. If the single topic is not complex, then just say "The key/main thing here is . . ." and explain or expound. If it starts to get complex, it is still not to late to say something like "Let me break it down for you - the 3 key issues that are germane to this argument are: 1. , 2. & 3. .
I hope that helps. Let me know what you thnk
@@francisjee Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response Francis I really appreciate it! I’ll definitely focus on getting the reps in with it to get it to feel more natural and pivot from there. I’ll also try the “one main idea here” for the topic. I make videos around 5 minutes any tips on how to frame my thinking it make a point within that time?
@@JakeGrows - I must first confess that making videos is not something a do very much of. Having said that, I have done a lot of work on VILT (virtual instructor led training). My go-to approach is:
1. Analyse the audience, or empathise with the audience. What do they want - the one thing? How do I want them to feel after my 5-minute video? What is THE question, their question!? What action do I want them to take, what behaviour or habit do I want them to change?
2. Start your 5 minutes with a hook - catch their interest. And this is usually something from #1. above. If you start with a question, frame the question such that they will say YES! (e.g. Do you want to retire young and rich?)
3. Use the cloud-diagramme framework to deliver your content so that it is easy to understand AND easy to remember.
4. Finish strong, clear and succinctly by returning to your hook in #2. above + a call to action (so no bait-n-switch 😅). Leave them with the desired feeling - inspired, empowered, excited, reflective etc.
If you send me a draft of the video, I'll give you some feedback - for FREE.
p/s I should learn how to do videos from you! 😅
@@francisjee Thank you man I’m just trying to apply all thinking and speaking frameworks to my video I can get even better at video so I always feel there’s something I can add to my game😂 I like the empathizing with the audience advice you shared that’s something I’ve been trying to focus deeply on thank you for sharing! In regards to the feedback I uploaded a video recently and any feedback would be greatly appreciated but only if you have the time don’t feel like you need to I appreciate all the help you’ve give all ready thank you!💪
Hello from Johor
Hello there!
thank you sir🙂
🤗
So after 5 months, how has his technique work for you Andrian?
What is Kuching
Hello LukKa - Good question! I am assuming you are from outside of Malaysia. 🤔 Kuching is a pretty little city in the State of Sarawak, in Malaysia. Check it out. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuching Better still, make a trip there - you'll love it.
what if I want to talk about more then 3 things
You can certainly add on more branches/topics. I could recommend no more than 5. It just get harder to keep track of the topics and manage your time budgets.
One way to cover more topics is to cluster them in to 3 main topic headers. Then you can explore the sub-topics when covering the main topic.
I hope that helps
you have 14 subs only ? seriously ??
Ha ha. Yes, seriously! Should it be anything different - seeing I never promoted the video? 😂 Should I do anything about it?
I am actually surprised that anyone found it as it was originally for a private training event for Royal Dutch Shell - Malaysia many years ago.
I am glad (I'm assuming) you found it useful.
@@francisjee People actually don't know that how valuable this topic is .
Oh no I can't stand the sound of sharpie on paper.
I would like to take a training with you, but am in Egypt. do you have any online/virtual training?
Hi Karma. At this point, I am not offering any training programmes or on-line courses. Should I create one in future, I will announce it here.
