Delivery
Slow, clear, structured
Fix the three things nerves break, in the order they break.
The problem it addresses
Under pressure the pace goes first, articulation second, and structure last. Trying to fix structure while still speaking too fast fixes nothing.
The shape
- Slow, because pace is what goes first
- Clear, because articulation goes next
- Structured, because that is what pace was costing you
Why that order
The order is the whole framework. Slowing down is what buys the attention that clarity and structure need, so it has to come first even though it feels like the least important of the three.
A worked example
Take the pace down a step. Finish the ends of your words. Then say the two things, in order, rather than all of it at once.
What usually goes wrong
Slowing down and stopping there, which produces a person speaking slowly and still saying it in the wrong order.
Practise it
Knowing the shape is about ten minutes of work. Running it while somebody senior is looking at you is a different thing, and that is what these are for.
Mostly serves Delivery, and reaches into Presence and Message.
A framework tells you what shape the answer takes. It cannot tell you whether shape is what you are short of, and for most people it is not. Which one is yours, and whether a framework is the right instrument at all, is what a Discovery Call is for.
