TJ Walker (YouTube, Feb 22, 2023) gives concise advice for being a good speaker/presenter: you must do one of two things—either (1) give people a new way of looking at an old idea (new perspective that aids understanding, memory, and explanation) or (2) present a genuinely new, original idea. He closes by urging viewers to follow the “TJ Walker habit.”
If you're going to be a good speaker, a good presenter, you have to do one of two things. You either have to give someone a new way of looking at an old idea, a way of understanding that idea, remembering it, explaining it to others. That's one accomplishment that's pretty rare if you can just get people to look at an old idea in a new way. The second thing you could do is to actually give somebody a new idea, something new, interesting and original. You have to do one of those two things. If you want to be a good communicator, please follow the TJ Walker habit.
