@@TheCh.e.oIn other words, it is not their problem they didn’t understand you, it is your problem because you didn’t get across what you were trying to say. It is your responsibility to communicate in a way that others can easily understand, something the commenter who’s words I’m better conveying didn’t seem to take to heart
One rlly important thing about restating context, which you did mention for a sec, is BEING CONCISE. Since i have had experinces with ppl talking and going in and explaining stuff in faaarrrr too many details, not for seconds but minutes, things that are clear to everyone in the room and are just bogging down the conversation. So pleasee with everything you do be aware of how MUCH you really need to say to get everyone on the same page.
Totally. I am recognizing that I lose people when I do this and I am very annoyed when people do it to me. No one needs a lecture. I'm working on how to maneuver this in conversation when communicating with people who are long-winded and distracting. I try to be more mindful of this when I communicate. It's a bad habit to over explain yourself.
I am working in consulting industry for 3 yrs and your CZcams video is absolutely a legend. All the points / tips you mentioned are exactly what we have been doing on day to day basis for clients!!
@@forjessfromjess not sure if this is the question for me or for Matt but I can provide some insights :) So I would say consulting life is interesting and rewarding if WLB is not your priority. So I think my main takeaway from these 3 yrs is about problem solving - the way of thinking, structuring and solving a novel question. This is an important skills because for any roles, you will for sure face a lot of new questions. Having a problem solving system which are applicable to most of them is critical and I think you can defo learn some from consulting day to day job!
I'm a student from the Philippines getting into finance and consulting. CZcams is an amazing tool, and people like you who are motivated to teach and share your knowledge to people are incredible. You have no idea the value I've gotten through your videos. Thanks Matt!
You don't always feel like you gained something fruitful after watching every youtube video, but this one was an exception further proving just how much of an excellent communicator you are. I'm a medical professional, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. subscribed!
Thank you! Even for someone as young as a college freshman like myself, this video is truly helpful. You can't even imagine how much of a change you can create in someone's life.
Communication doesn't take place with the person sending the message. We have loads of control over what we broadcast. We have no control over the listener actually receiving, hearing, comprehending or understanding what we are saying. No matter how clear and concise what we say, it doesn't matter if the other party isn’t present to it, cannot comprehend it, is distracted, is misinterpreting it, is jumping to conclusions, is planning their response, is triggered and taking it in the worst way possible to reinforce their narrative, etc. Communication is improved by the presence, curiosity, patience, compassion, and goodwill of the listener. If we want to be more effective communicators, learn to listen fully and ask for clarity when we are not certain we are understanding. Be a good listening role model. That said, this is a good video for learning to broadcast a more organized and clear message. That is certainly helpful. Communication is not complete until a message is received and accurately understood.
I liked your point that thinking clearly is the basis of speaking clearly and I liked that you gave us a simple way to work on improving the clarity of our thinking and speaking by practicing being concise in our writing. This advice is way more helpful for meaningful change than vague things like be confident. If it’s messy, it will still be messy no matter how confident you are lol. Thanks for the practical advice!
Thanks for the video! Your writing during the thinking process and writing to an audience are two different things. We write to help us think through problems. But when writing to audience some argue your writing should be valuable above all else. If it is clear concise and not valuable ITS WORTHLESS. Make your writing valuable to your given audience. Economy of expression and correct grammar are often times byproducts of valuable writing, but sometimes not :)
Hey Matt, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may not realize it, but this video is incredibly beneficial to me. I was actually searching for something entirely different when I stumbled upon your video on CZcams. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if it might be a waste of time since the topic was so different from what I was looking for. But now, after watching it, I’m so glad to say that my assumption was completely wrong. This video is not just useful; it’s something I believe I can apply in at least three different areas of my life. Sounds amazing, right? I’m so glad I found it. I’ve already saved it and plan to rewatch it whenever I need a reminder. Honestly, this video is worth at least five productivity videos! May God guide you, Matt. I think I’ll end up praying for you each time I watch this video. It feels so genuine and authentic. One more thing I’d like to mention-I really appreciate that you didn’t add any music to your video. It’s often so distracting when there’s music in the background, but your video felt like you were directly talking to me, almost like I was sitting in a class. It just felt so natural and genuine. Thanks once again, Matt.
Instantly clicked on this video. this kind of thing is exactly what ive been looking for. I'm gonna look more myself into frameworks of speaking and stuff like that, but this is an excellent start. Thank you! Also I instantly lit up when you brought up "first principles thinking." Thats like my whole life philosophy, and ties well into always knowing your goals!
Excellent as always Matt! Please do keep these free 😅 this is peak service, such gold advice at zero cost ❤ I am keen to help you out in your efforts if at all you need a hand from an admin perspective!! For #2 knowing audience, i would add, knowing the incentives/objectives of the audience is another key point going into a meeting so that we can ensure alignment with other stakeholders ahead of the meeting and structure our presentation to include elements that move the needle and steer the conversation.
Thanks man Last week i had a meeting with a team that i will lead to develop a software and almost everyone is unexperienced, so i had to explain a lot of concepts to them. At first, I thought it would be a very difficult task, as it took a lot of studying to get to the point I am at, and I had excellent teachers with incredible methods. It ended up that the meeting was a great success, everyone had a very clear understanding and could apply everything they learned. I was also well praised after that. Now with this video i can clearly see what i did right for this to happen I actually applied a lot of what you said there even before watching the video First thing i done was to test my understanding of the subject and put it in practice in a simple and didactic way. Then i wrote down what were the necessary concepts i needed to explain and tried to simplify them so anyone could understand. At the meeting, first thing i done was to spend some minutes explaing what we were gonna discuss (the reason of that meeting) and why it was important. Then i started by very basic things that they should already know (but some of them didn't) and i followed up into more advanced concepts making a connection between each topic so it could make sense. Ended up by showing everything applied in practice with a very simple example. The whole meeting took like half an hour
Was superhelpful Matt! I've been struggling with talking during my content creation, so your advice on writing down what to say is helpful instead of talking on the fly.
Fantastic job, the common issues you identified are totally accurate to the ineffective research meetings I’ve been in… particularly within one lab which, unsurprisingly, resulted in an incomplete project.
A lot of actionable items in one video! One piece of feedback is that, if possible, it would be helpful to include some frames at the end of the video where the final writing is fully visible. This allows viewers to pause and take notes, which is crucial for taking actions. Thank you!
I’ve always struggled to speak effectively at work. It’s almost like when I speak in front of certain people (unimportant), I can speak clearly. Come to speak in meetings and to my managers and it’s almost like I buckle to speak clearly and when I can get something out, it doesn’t make sense. It has really limited my career progression potential to date.
The same thing happens to me. When I try to speak w someone who are just….better than me I get seriously nervous. Also, as u mentioned, the important people😂 like professors or classmates or seniors who are good in academics. I get so scared to even have a casual conversation. Funny story, I had a classmate who was really good in studies and we used to sit together and he did considered me as his friend but I refused to talk to him, not completely, I would say only the basics like good morning, or bye, or I have a headache after this class etc etc, and he always used to tease me as an extreme introvert but how do I tell him that I am actually scared to talk about anything cause then he just might find out that I am stupid 😭😭😭😭
This goes back to the first thing he mentioned…clear thinking. If you have a previous psychological limit like inferiority complex or imposter syndrome, it’s most likely going to affect your ability to think clearly, thus affecting your ability to communicate effectively. So it’s not that you can’t communicate, but your mental state is affecting your clear thinking. I suggest you work on unresolved traumas and conflicts. For example if you have imposter syndrome, you need to work on it by getting truths that help you know you’re as good as you claim to be. And even if you make a mistake, be open to feedback and willing to learn. Rejection is not a death sentence, it just means they don’t need you in that moment or need to get better. Don’t judge yourself, judge the situation, and find a way to improve on it. If you have dealt with this internal conflict, you’ll find it easier to think clearly when communicating with people higher than you, and you’ll be able to share your thoughts easily
What you're saying is similar to what the Zachary Quinto's character does at the last meeting in Margin Call , the introduces himself, gives context and tries to keep the jargon to a minimun.
If you are going to ‘verbalise’ your message then you must experience in that form by saying it out loud before the event. Reading something and saying it out loud can result in two different outcomes so, if you are going to say it, then practice saying it. It’s the best way to organise your thoughts - just not so good for capturing them (unless you record all that you say!).
This is a great video. In my early career I often felt like I struggled with effective communication about business-critical topics to leadership. This framework is super simple and very effective.
I am so happy CZcams recommended your video because communication at work is something that I’ve been struggling personally. What advice do you have for making connections on LinkedIn?
Try to find their work email if possible and reach out there instead of LinkedIn. Not everyone checks LinkedIn often, but everyone checks their work email! Also focus on being genuine in your interactions with people, convey warmth and excitement. Hope this helps!
How true about ineffective corporate meetings, even those hosted by mgmt! You come out of the meeting feeling there is no conclusion, who’s to do what, and you wonder if this is just a sharing session.
Hey Matt, loving the videos - lucid and clear. Can you talk about how are you understanding tech coming from BCG? Which industry where you working at BCG?
Hey Soumisa! At BCG I worked on a wide variety of projects across consumer, healthcare, financial services and tech. I really enjoyed the projects I worked on in tech, which helped me make the transition!
Very irrelevant to the video, but in the context of conversation something I’ve noticed is the value of thinking ‘is there a way to reply to what I’m saying’ I see a lot of unintended dead ended conversations because people will say something that is just impossible to bounce off of. So ‘how would I reply if this was said to me?’ Is a decent question to ask when contributing to a conversation (if you want it to be a back and forth that is)
I don't really have any communication book recs, everything in the video is from what I've learned in my career so far. That said, I'll keep you posted if I hear about any good ones!
Hey Matt. Love watching your videos. Especially the case study explanations. I am an Indian and aspire to get into the same field as you. I am an undergraduate student and also doing a professional course ( Chartered Accountancy ) alongside. Could you please guide me whether i should go for CFA or MBA after this or Both? Because i want to gain experience in both investment banking and management consulting.
“So, the last guys that worked on our AC ripped us off and couldn’t figure out what was going on..” Don’t worry sir, the air might not be cold now, but I’m a true air plumber and I will make it cold again.. 👍
Also, concise. Make your each word and sentence worthy of being said and remembered by the listener. Unfortunately, this video was not very concise and often felt redundant enough to make you zone out. Good points though, great initiative. Thanks Think effectively ==> write effectively ==> communicate effectively 👏
This was a fantastic video Matt thank you! My only feedback is that it seemed like there were a lot of jump cuts where you were cutting out parts of your talk. This was a little jarring to watch on video. Otherwise fantastic resource thank you!!
From thirty years of public speaking: best way to eliminate that: 1. record yourself (better if with video) and watch/listen afterwards, notice all those noises you don't like 2. Focus for a second before every speech thinking "I will listen to myself while talking and avoid this and that" 3. During the talk: take pause from time to time to reset: your posture, your structure, your voice, volume, tone, ask yourself if it's going as planned then restart. Don't be afraid of being totally silent, it actually gives power to your words/message
I think the aura you radiate is influenced by your own thoughts. If you have positive thoughts and energy, people will notice. Same goes for the opposite - if you are generally a negative person, it comes through in how you communicate.
You had me at “that’s a them problem, not a you problem”
hahaha
It's the word used by immature people, if we need something it's always always our problem to make them clear what we want them to do for us.

Don’t worry sir, the air might not be cold now, but I’m a true air plumber and I will make it cold again.. 👍
Also, concise. Make your each word and sentence worthy of being said and remembered by the listener. Unfortunately, this video was not very concise and often felt redundant enough to make you zone out. Good points though, great initiative. Thanks
Think effectively ==> write effectively ==> communicate effectively 👏
This was a fantastic video Matt thank you! My only feedback is that it seemed like there were a lot of jump cuts where you were cutting out parts of your talk. This was a little jarring to watch on video. Otherwise fantastic resource thank you!!
Thanks for the feedback!
I want to practice my communication/presentation skills in my field of study but I literally have trouble with speech and retaining information HELP 😅
But you didn’t put out a single sentence that wasn’t edited/chopped!
For the sake of good communication.
nice video bro, keep it up 🔥
I like how you don’t say uhh or umms. I need to stop saying that
He maybe saying those filler words, he or his editor is cutting them out.
From thirty years of public speaking: best way to eliminate that: 1. record yourself (better if with video) and watch/listen afterwards, notice all those noises you don't like 2. Focus for a second before every speech thinking "I will listen to myself while talking and avoid this and that" 3. During the talk: take pause from time to time to reset: your posture, your structure, your voice, volume, tone, ask yourself if it's going as planned then restart. Don't be afraid of being totally silent, it actually gives power to your words/message
Thank you for sharing 🙌
Thank you for stopping by!
Clear thinking 1. Know your goal, 2 know your audience

Hi Matt how do have a good bright positive aura/atmosphere? Or atleast not radiate a bad one
I think the aura you radiate is influenced by your own thoughts. If you have positive thoughts and energy, people will notice. Same goes for the opposite - if you are generally a negative person, it comes through in how you communicate.
great lesson matt
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful
I don't think I subscribed to a channel faster haha
