Episode notes
Catalog Content For Every Learning Style
- Do catalog your content in four modes: analogies/metaphors, stories, stats/steps, and the framework itself to reach different learning styles.
- Mel Abraham keeps a ready document so he can speak to visionaries, detail-oriented folks, and logic-focused audiences without extra research.
Choose Shapes And Colors For Psychological Impact
- Avoid designing frameworks to be merely cute; prioritize psychological impact of shapes and colors for effectiveness.
- Mel Abraham recommends choosing shapes like circles, squares, or triangles intentionally because each conveys inclusiveness, boundaries, or direction.
Three Shapes Carry Most Visual Meaning
- Framework formation should use only three base shapes: circles, triangles, and squares, since others are variants of these.
- Each shape carries meaning: squares signal structure, circles signal inclusiveness, triangles signal movement or growth.
