Chris and Will: What if I Read My Speech?

Chris: Doc, I’ve noticed that some speakers just read straight from their notes, word for word. It feels...well, a bit lifeless.πŸ”–

Dr. Will: Ah, Chris, sounds like a classic case of Fullscriptophilia! Reading entirely from your script can drain the life out of a speech and cut off the connection with the audience.πŸ©ΊπŸ”¬

Chris: But isn’t it safer to have everything right in front of you? πŸ€”

Dr. Will: Technically true, but the problem is that you risk losing your audience’s engagement. When you’re glued to the page, you miss out on eye contact, natural expression, and responding to their reactions. It becomes more of a recital than a conversation.πŸ‘

Responding in real-time is what turns a presentation into an experience. Ignoring the audience alienates them, but engaging your audience integrates them.

Chris and Will: The problem with too much Information

Chris: Doc, I had a great time delivering an informative speech yesterday. I was surprised I could stuff so much information into such a little time!πŸ“πŸ“¦

Dr. Will: Did you notice people sleeping or distracted?πŸ›πŸ˜΄

Chris: I did, but I couldn’t understand why.

Dr. Will: though you are expected to gather 75% more information on your subject than you need, it is to select the best and the most appropriate. πŸ’―

'Time limit' tells you the expectation of your audience. No one expects a 1hour worth of information in 10 minutes. ⏱️

The more you say, the less they hear. When informing, focus on value and not volume.

Don’t enjoy yourself at the expense of your audience. πŸ’΅

Action Points
1. Have you ever experienced information overload?

2. How would you determine the most important information to share?

...a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention...


Herbert A. Simon (1916–2001) was an American scholar whose work shaped computer science, economics, and cognitive psychology. He introduced the concepts of bounded rationality and satisficing in decision-making. Simon was a pioneer in artificial intelligence, information processing, and organization theory. He won the Turing Award (1975) and the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences (1978) for his contributions to these fields.

Deep Reflection
I was so stunned by the irony of this quotation that I spent some minutes pondering on it. Imagine how unnecessary wealth can create poverty!
