3 Take Aways

by JD

“3 take aways” is one of my favorite ways to chop information down to size.  I also use it to make the most of a meeting or training session.  All I do, is ask myself, "what are 3 take aways?"   Does it sound simple?  That’s the idea.  It helps you avoid becoming overwhelmed.  It also forces you to focus and prioritize.  It’s a great way to turn insight into action.

For example, from my Crucial Conversations training, my 3 take aways were:

  • 1) Master my stories.
  • 2) Learn to look.
  • 3) Start with heart. 

From my Influencer training, my 3 take aways were;

  • 1) Clarify meaningful results.
  • 2) Focus on vital behaviors.
  • 3) Analyze six sources of influence.

By using “3 take aways,” I remember to use these skills during crucial conversations, or when I’m analyzing an influence challenge.  You can apply the practice of “3 take aways” to just about anything: books, movies, mentoring, … you name it.  It’s another way to put the rule of 3 into practice.
