Making a Speech Powerful & Persuasive - Public Speaking Video Lecture -

so how do you make your speech powerful
and persuasive it's actually pretty easy
considering most people's presentations
most people's speeches are dull as
dishwater because most people think a
speech is about let me gather up every
single fact about a particular subject
and let me just throw it out in a boring
bland way almost like a conveyor belt
where facts just spin off so the
starting point has got to be you've got
to figure out what your handful of most
important ideas then you've got to
dramatize these points with some urgency
you've got to give people a sense of why
they should care because if you don't
care why should they the best way to do
this is by giving powerful examples the
most powerful example of all is a
personal story involving a conversation
you had with a real person about a real
problem where you were how you felt and
finally you've got to ask people what
you want them to do you've got to
explain the benefits to them most people
skip this they think hey my audience is
smart if I simply lay out the facts
they'll figure it out
maybe maybe not maybe they'll instantly
forget so if you want to be persuasive
you have to persuade them to do
something you need to tell them exactly
what that something is so they don't
have to piece it all together and
connect the dots connect the dots for
your audience
create the case for what you want them
to do what the benefits are and then ask
them to do it and ask them to do it now
you must have that sense of urgency if
you do that you will be powerful and
persuasive
