A dead MIT professor accidentally destroyed the $20 billion executive coaching industry with one hour of lecture, and ten million people have already watched him do it.
He filmed it once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.
Executive coaches charge fifteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in that one hour for free.
His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.
Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."
His entire framework fits on a napkin.
Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."
That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.
"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."
That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.
Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.
The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.
Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.
The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.
@KateJoSE@BIGHIT_MUSIC@bts_bighit@BTS_twt I feel pity to JK, who has fans that not be respectful to his wish. Remember what your idol said: he only did what he liked.
@Daily_JKUpdate@BIGHIT_MUSIC@bts_bighit@BTS_twt Dont put words in people’s mouth. Dont stick your mindset to everyone’s thought. Be respectful to your bias, the one who said he only does what he likes
Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis and his efforts went unrecognised for 50 years.
Then, in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he had rescued, who were now adults.
Torture, humiliation, and hunger—these are what our Ukrainian people endure in Russian prisons and camps.
We have managed to bring 3,767 Ukrainians home. Almost all of them required long-term treatment and rehabilitation. Russia continues to illegally detain thousands more of our people and forcibly relocate children.
Together with everyone in the world who values human life, we must do everything possible to free each and every one of them. We are counting on the support of the Vatican and all our partners.

@RpsAgainstTrump So you dont want the war to stop? You dont want to save lives? Why a man wants the war to stop means he’s on Putin side? I dont get it…
@minieskies Anybody know X account of Bang Si-Hyuk, Park Jiwon or Tom March? We should address our concern directly to those in charge. Besides, big hit and hype should do their job in protecting their money maker instead of relying on ARMY
Cuộc biểu tình ủng hộ Israel 🇮🇱 ở Mỹ.
Cho thấy s�� khác biệt?
Chúng tôi biểu tình trong hòa bình.
Chúng tôi không kêu gọi thánh chiến.
Chúng tôi không kêu gọi diệt chủng.
Và chúng tôi tôn trọng lá cờ Mỹ 🇺🇸
Không giống như những người ủng hộ Palestine đã xé cờ Mỹ nhiều nơi vào Ngày Cựu chiến binh...
That’s what mates are for!
A Palestinian pro-Hamas rally was meant to be held in Auckland, New Zealand today.
Then a group of #Maoris came and led a Haka in support of Israel.
The Palestinian-Hamas cowards quickly cancelled their rally.
