A short live-streamed talk by TJ Walker focused on the core of effective communication: deciding what ideas you want an audience to understand and what actions you want them to take after understanding those ideas. The speaker emphasizes starting presentations or interviews by clarifying the essential message and desired outcome for the audience size (one to many).

What ideas do you want another person to understand, and what do you want them to do with it after they understand your ideas? That's the essence of communication. Anytime you're trying to communicate with a speech, in a job interview, any type of presentation, you need to start off by stepping back a moment and asking yourself what ideas are that are truly important to you? Do you need this audience member? Whether it's a thousand, ten thousand, or just one person? What do you need them to really understand and to remember so that they do what you want them to do, or agree with you, or take part in some action you're interested in? That is the starting point of communication.
