What a scam!

Un profesor del MIT dio la misma conferencia cada enero durante 40 años, y cada una de las veces no cabía ni un alma en el aula.

La vi a las 2 de la mañana y cambió por completo mi forma de entender la comunicación.

Su nombre era Patrick Winston. La conferencia se titula "Cómo hablar" (How to Speak).

Su frase de apertura te golpea como un camión: "Tu éxito en la vida vendrá determinado en gran medida por tu capacidad para hablar, tu capacidad para escribir y la calidad de tus ideas, en ese orden".

Ni tu nota media, ni tus títulos, ni tu coeficiente intelectual. Cómo hablas es lo que separa a las personas que son escuchadas de las que son ignoradas.

Este es el esquema que inculcó a los estudiantes del MIT durante cuatro décadas:

1) Nunca empieces con un chiste: Empieza diciendo a la gente exactamente qué es lo que va a aprender. "Prepara la bomba antes de verter nada". Él lo llamaba la "promesa de empoderamiento": dales una razón para no levantarse del asiento en los primeros 60 segundos.

2) La regla de las 5S: Para que una idea se quede grabada debe ser: Símbolo, Slogan, Sorpresa, Saliente (relevante) e Historia (Story). Cualquier idea que valga la pena recordar cumple al menos tres de estas.

3) La técnica del "casi acierto" (Near Miss): Esta parte me dejó alucinado. No te limites a mostrar lo que está bien; muestra lo que parece estar bien pero no lo está. Ese contraste es lo que hace que el cerebro registre algo de forma permanente.

4) Su regla final: Termina con una contribución, no con un resumen. No recapitules lo que ya dijiste. Dile a la gente qué les has dado que no tenían antes de entrar por la puerta.

He usado este esquema en ventas, entrevistas y presentaciones desde que lo vi, y los resultados no son sutiles.

Patrick Winston falleció en 2019, pero esta clase sigue siendo gratuita en el OpenCourseWare del MIT. Una hora, vista por millones de personas, y no cuesta absolutamente nada.

Milton Friedman, 4 ways to spend money:

1. Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2. Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3. Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4. Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)

Hint: #4 is the government

I ask people how they would spend 30 billion dollars to save the world.

Some answers:

-Redistribution

-Ending homelessness

-Water access

-Education

-And the most popular answer? Climate change.

Look at her eyes, she doesn’t run, she doesn’t plead. She simply makes a choice. And the music swells as we understand what is about to happen.

One of the best explanations of Greed and How Capitalism is our only real escape from Poverty! Milton was Brilliant! Phil Donahue was more Philosophical, but when facts meet Philosophy Facts always win.

@LeaderJohnThune #ImNotpaid

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 BREAKING: John Thune says support for the SAVE America Act is a “PAID INFLUENCER” campaign

That is TOTAL BULLSHlT, and even PRESIDENT TRUMP called it out today

“The people are DEMANDING it! Every time I go out, [people say] ‘The SAVE America Act, sir! We want the SAVE America Act, sir!'

That's ALL they talk about!”

NONE of us are getting paid by any sort of organization to push for voter integrity.

You’re just TOO WEAK to get it done, @LeaderJohnThune.

[Grár Hrafn @ItsGregTompkins]

@QiTrump @GuntherEagleman Unfortunately the Republicans are just as bad for not getting this passed! We are being played. Uniparty has us and won’t let go.
