RESOURCE - FRAME Your Communication
The document, authored by Brian Miller of Clarity Up, introduces the FRAME model – a five‑step framework (Foundation, Reality, Aha!, Movement, Effect) designed to help speakers craft messages that not only engage emotionally but also drive concrete action. It explains why conventional persuasion often fails (audiences aren’t convinced), then details each component of FRAME, offering concrete prompts for quickly outlining any communication (sales calls, webinars, coaching sessions, team meetings). The guide lists ideal contexts for using FRAME, provides practical “Pro Tips” (start with the audience, build the case before the action, use plain language), and illustrates the model with two mini‑examples: a real‑estate sales call and a team‑alignment conversation. The overall message is that effective communication is a sequence of ideas that moves the listener from existing beliefs to a desired future state, and that FRAME supplies the reliable sequence to achieve that.
