How to communicate a new concept effectively? (How the human mind likes it)

Context:

Always provide context for everything you are about to talk about in connection to these questions-

-Why we need to know this?

-How does this co-relate to the grander scheme of things?

-How and where will this information benefit me?

Never take the context for granted. Give it its due share, and even if its kept short, it’s best not to skip it

Introduction:

When you begin, arouse curiosity in the topic to create a receptive audience. Start with something that is known and is simple to understand. Don’t deep dive into unknown territory immediately. Give the mind time to adapt and trek into the unknown terrain slowly and gradually.

Visualize it:

The concept or idea being described should take on a certain shape or form in the mind of the individual. It can be different from the way you visualize it. However, your words should arouse simultaneous images or symbolic representations in the mind’s eye of the recipient in order to fully grasp a concept, otherwise it is just something vague and abstract. Also, there needs to be a sequence or smooth transition from one point to another to form this picture in the mind’s eye. Sudden transgressions or jumping from topic to topic without forming connections/tying up loose ends can lead to confusion and disruptions in understanding the concepts.

Register:

The orally spoken words should register in the minds of the recipient, in a way that they are easy to repeat and comprehend. The language and vocabulary used should be replicable in the mind of the recipient on listening. They should follow through what is being said and not get stuck or lost at point where communication barriers pop up. Even if they translate it in their own head or make sense of it in their own way, it’s important that the information registers with them.

Wrap up:

The closing statements should have a general overview and revision of everything covered in the discussion. This allows for a complete understanding and assimilation of a concept. It also prepares the mind to come back to the moment and return to regular thought.

Feedback:

The communication from sender to receiver is not linear. It’s not as passive as it seems. The receiver is consciously engaging with the ideas and participating in the process of responding to the speaker, not just by listening, but by registering correctly what has been sent. The uninterrupted receiving by the listener to the depth of their being, completes the communication process. The feedback loop is hence accomplished when if you ask the audience to repeat what is said/express their piece of mind, they respond in a way that shows that they are on the same page as you.
