Leverage the Rule of 3
• Historically been used in storytelling – fairytales,
myths and some of our greatest stories.
• A story is broken into beginning, middle and end.
• Three act structure is used in screenwriting for
Hollywood
• 3 bullet points are better than 2 or 4

Why 3?
• Humans learn from patterns
• 3 is the smallest pattern which can be produced
• Also been conditioned in us over the years
• Think…..

Some obvious ones…
• Father, Son & Holy Spirit
• Blood, Sweat & Tears
• Faith, Hope & Charity
• 3 Little Pigs
• 3 Wise Men
• 3 Musketeers
