Be it while selling, writing, or coaching, I lean hard on the rule of three.
Interns are encouraged to limit instruction to no more than three coaching cues during a given exercise so as not to overwhelm the athlete. My presentations are broken into three sections, each featuring three primary concepts, and three action items, so as not to overwhelm the audience. And prospective clients are pitched on no more than three potential service offerings when first introduced to our model, so as not to introduce decision fatigue during the evaluation process.
Too much of anything can distract from the best option or approach, so the rule of three will allow you to declutter the mind of the person in front of you and accomplish the objective of truly educating.
After all, you haven’t taught anything until someone has learned.
