The Magical 3 Step Telling Process!
Today, I want to tell you about a tool that is so magical, you can use it to get any message across to anybody, in any situation.
I will tell you about the 3-step Telling process.
One of the tools I picked up very early in my public speaking career, was The 3 Step Telling Process:
Step 1. Tell them what you’re going to tell them.
Step 2. Tell them.
Step 3. Tell them what you told them.
As I was sitting and preparing my presentation for a career seminar I was invited to conduct, I couldnt help but notice that this simple tool/formula could be great for the workplace.
For interviews, promotion pitches, salary negotiations, just plain boss-i-love-you speech!
Interviews:
As I have mentioned earlier Interviews invariable have the 'tell me about yourself' question.
The 3-Step Telling Process would work wonders in for this.
Step 1 - Identify some adjectives for yourself. Start off by telling them that ' I am adjective1, adjective2' etc.
for e.g. I consider myself innovative, charming and good with words.
Step 2 - Talk about yourself. See the post INTERVIEW SKILLS| Tell me something about yourself? What to do?? on what to say.
Step 3 - Tell them what you told them, so end the answer/reply by saying something like 'As I was telling you, because I am _____, _______ I am perfect for this position'
Promotion Pitches:
Step 1 - Boss, I would like to tell you why I think I am ready for more responsibility.
Step 2 - I have over the last XX time, demonstrated the ability and the willingness to take on tasks, learn and accomplish them with my team. If you remember.......
Step 3 - Thank you for your time. I am sure now you see why I would make a great team leader/manager etc
Do this for anything!
It is such a brilliant tool.
Like I was saying, the 3-step Telling process is prefect for any situation.
Remember, tell them what you are about to tell them, then tell them and finally tell them what you told them!
Cheers!
