You've mastered four powerful frameworks: Why-What-How, PREP, story spines, and hooks. But real communication happens under pressure with zero prep time.
Enter the 3-minute message sprint - your training ground for impromptu speaking success.
Engagement Message
When was the last time you were asked to speak without warning?
A message sprint works like this: 2 minutes to prepare, 3 minutes to deliver, then quick self-evaluation. Total time: 10 minutes max.
This mirrors real-world constraints where you need to organize thoughts fast and speak confidently.
Engagement Message
What's the longest you usually get to prepare for unexpected speaking moments?
Step one in your sprint: Choose your framework in 15 seconds. Ask yourself: "Am I explaining something (Why-What-How), defending a position (PREP), or sharing an experience (story spine)?"
Quick framework selection prevents wasted preparation time and gives you immediate structure.
Engagement Message
Which framework feels most natural to you right now?
Step two: Pick your hook in 30 seconds. Match it to your audience and message. Boardroom? Try a statistic. Team meeting? Consider a question. Training session? Paint an image.
Your hook earns the right to deliver your main content.
Engagement Message
What type of hook would work best for your next presentation?
Step three: Fill your chosen framework in 60 seconds. Don't overthink - capture your key points quickly. You can polish during delivery.
Remember: good enough preparation beats perfect preparation that never happens.
