To paraphrase an eloquent speech from Hamlet – To be eloquent or not be eloquent, that is the question.Shakespeare understood eloquence, just consider Act 1 Scene 1 of Richard the Third.Now is the winter of our discontent made a glorious summer by this son of York.And all the clouds that low'r'd upon our houseIn the deep bosom of the ocean buried.Or the prologue of Romeo and Juliet Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Shakespeare understood that we need to eloquently grab the audiences attention right from the get go.Whether you are delivering a keynote, a training or an after dinner speech. Your audience is asking themselves why am I here and you need to eloquently answer them.Let me tell you a story, I first came to Singapore to work with one client, Singapore Airlines. They had asked me to design and deliver a coaching and leadership program.SQ flew me from Sydney to Singapore business class and put me up in the Swisshotel so I was feeling pretty special.
Self-leadership is about influencing self and others.To influence we must be eloquent in ethos, pathos and logos.Trust = Character and Competence
We are not thinking machines, we are feeling machines that think. - Dr RestakTelling people what to do doesn’t workAs you can’t tell your boss what to do, you have to learn to influence
Don’t wait for your audience to put you in a state – be the state you want your audience in.If you have the microphone – you are driving the bus, choose what kind of journey you will take them on.
If you want your audience to be confident – you just be confident.Imagine if I started today, mmm I’d like to ugh talk to you about eloquence.What states might you want to put your audience in? Reflective, excited, curious? Consider the states you go into as I tell this story….
Eloquence frames your content, because all content needs context.Human beings are meaning making machines and as your mission is to make meaning for your audience.We frame the content with Why the need to listen to us, what is important about the information, how it will impact them and what to do next.With framing allows you to take any content and make it meaningful. Let me have a couple of volunteers. And now Ok you are about to speak
