Simple Secrets to Great Communication #2 - Start With Why!

The Big Idea: 

"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." 

Simon Sinek

Whether talking with another person or presenting to a group of hundreds, we usually communicate from the outside in. 

The outside ring of our communications target is the "What". We talk easily about what we do or what facts, figures, and information we believe are important. 

Our second ring is the "How". We may talk about how something was accomplished or how we should move forward. 

Rarely do we talk about the most important ring: the bullseye of "Why".

As an example, consider this 30-second elevator speech:

At Stress Solutions, we teach people how to be top-tier communicators. We do this through formal training, personal 1-to-1 coaching, and application of video and audio recordings. Through this coaching, our graduates become powerful communicators and enjoy more success in every area of life.

Contrast this standard elevator speech with a second "Why" centered approach:

At Stress Solutions, we believe everyone has a special story that needs to be told. Our mission is to ensure everyone can share their special story, vision, and ideas in ways that enrich the world. We do this by helping every client discover, shape, and give voice to their story in a powerful and compelling way. As a result, clients become confident top-tier communicators who make a true difference in people's lives.

In this short TED Talk presentation by Simon Sinek, you'll learn the secret of communicating from the inside out by starting with your big "Why".
