This week's excerpt features:
Nick Winkelman , Craig Burgess & Bryan Eisenberg
Three exemplary communicators with drastically different styles.
In general, Nick polishes, Craig ships with imperfections, & Bryan believes in being present.
Where do you sit?
In the opening you'll me interviewing Nick, then I open up the mic for the perspective of Craig, Bryan and others.
Nick:
- Believes in asking questions not questioning. There's a big difference, he says.
- Shares a story about the time he asked an NFL prospect, "How does that feel?" after a drill. The athlete responded, "You're the coach, you tell me." <--This isn't a story about disrespect. It's about conversation. One of Nick's guiding philosophies is to invite his pupils into conversation.
Craig:
- Believes in one-take videos on Twitter.
- Likes introducing an element of danger in his presentations
- Favors spontaneity
Bryan:
- Believes in knowing your audience and adjusting your style accordingly
- Coaches clients to be present and responsive
- Compares communication to the way athletes perform
Obviously, there is overlap and nuance to be had, but wow... what a damn good conversation.
Reach out if I can be or service.
As always, thanks for listening!
