Comms Lab: Episode 28

LOGOS – Leverage Logic to Make Your Point

Most of us are pretty familiar with using logic to make our point – maybe too familiar! In this video, we take a deep dive into LOGOS, the ancient idea behind this practice, and explore some aspects of it you may not have considered – including some unconventional uses.

As with the previous video on PATHOS, we’ll also take a look at the potential pitfalls of LOGOS, and of course, how to avoid them.

Got feedback for me? Great! I’m always trying to make my videos better and more relevant. Let me know what you think in the comments section.
