The purpose of this paragraph is to explain why it's important to avoid using jargon.
No matter what field you work in, it’s important to avoid jargon and field-specific language when you communicate with the general public. Although you may think that using words such as optimize, differentiate, or paradigm makes you sound smarter or better at your job, this “insider talk” blocks communication. It’s as if you're putting up a wall between yourself and the person or people you’re talking to.Â
Talk in a simple and clear way without removing the essential details.
Using simple language is a sign of an excellent communicator. People care more about what you say because they understand you’re speaking to them at the same level. But be careful not to oversimplify. If your listeners feel insulted, you’ll lose them.
It's important to communicate in a way that shows you are knowledgeable.
Don’t think too hard about what you’re going to say or who you’re talking to. Just relax and imagine that you’re in an informal situation, like a weekend party. Focus on connecting with people, not on impressing them.
Using examples to support your explanation of a complicated concept makes it easier to understand.
When you’re explaining a complicated concept, use examples or short stories. It will make the idea easier to understand—and if you choose something that connects with your listeners’ emotions, it will also help them remember your message long after the conversation is over.
When you are planning a presentation or talk, it's a good idea to practice with someone who works or studies with you.
If you need to give a talk or presentation and you’re not sure if your message is clear, ask a friend or family member to listen for jargon. Be sure to talk to someone who isn’t in the same field as you—otherwise, they might not notice all the jargon you use. In fact, they probably use it themselves.
If you can create an emotional connection with the audience, they're more likely to remember your presentation.
When you’re explaining a complicated concept, use examples or short stories. It will make the idea easier to understand—and if you choose something that connects with your listeners’ emotions, it will also help them remember your message long after the conversation is over.
