Get back to the foundations
More often than not your audience doesn’t need a step-by-step guide. They need first principles.
I call this the “three C’s.”
1. They need to light the flame of their own curiosity.
2. Spark new courage to push through their own unknown.
3. And conviction that, no matter what lies ahead, they have a fundamentally sound foundation for the infinite curveballs unique to their own time, business, place, and myriad other factors.
I’d rather teach a team how to apply 10 unshakeable principles 10,000 times, than try to teach them 10,000 permutations for how to handle every scenario they may face.
A priori must complement the data-drowned a posteriori world we live in. And passion for your helping your audience unlock true wisdom?
Well, there’s nothing better than that.
