When I was sixteen, I took an elective class at Minneapolis South High School on giving effective presentations. This is where I learned the traditional American rule for successfully transferring a powerful message to an audience: “Tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you’ve told them.” This is the philosophy of low-context communication in a nutshell.
I have learned over the years to repeat and recap everything so that things are crystal clear from *my* POV. I have definitely run into the situation where people I’m working with are getting perturbed because I keep repeating and keep trying to clarify the main points while talking. Obviously I’ve been oblivious to this dynamic 😅
