#3164: Don’t Be “Too Smart” For Your Audience

podcast January 10, 2025

Background
share close

In this class, I’m talking to anyone who presents to an audience—whether you’re a speaker, teacher, lawyer, or student. The message is simple: don’t try to be “too smart” for your audience. I explain what that means and how trying to sound impressive can actually hurt your ability to connect and communicate. My job is to share knowledge in a way you can use, and I want to make sure you can do the same when it’s your turn to share your message. Let’s get into it.

Show Notes:

[07:06]#1 Many people have a bad habit of trying to prove to everyone else how smart you are, and this is done incorrectly. 

[14:27]#2 College degree holders are the most susceptible to this bad habit and you are the most guilty of executing on this bad habit. 

[19:43]#3 My superpower is my ability to take a complex topic, break it down, and make it simple enough for a fifth grader to understand it.
