The Power of Three

 When sharing information or presenting ideas, here is a simple plan to support you: 

  1. Opening: prepare your audience
    • Welcome, introductions if needed, context of the points you want to make
  2. Share the three items that you will expand upon e.g. I want to talk to you about three things today (list) and then go into each item one-by-one:
    1. Item 1 (Employee Liaison Team)
      May include multiple subpoints 
    2. Item 2 (Idea Generation)
      May include multiple subpoints
    3. Item 3 (Thanks and Recognition)
      May include multiple subpoints
  3. Conclusion and repeat all three main points
  4. Ask for any feedback (either at the end or after each item)
This has worked well in a number of different situations. 

Don't underestimate the power of three.  It is a mental construct that supports your audience and helps you keep your thoughts organized.

Let me know how this goes and good luck with your presentation.
