Published : February 7, 2013
Here are the 7 keys that can make you a popular communicator.
Introduce a theme. Always introduce a theme at the beginning of a presentation. You can start by a remark saying, “I want to talk to you today about staying passionate about life,” or “I want to talk you to about having a big vision for your life.” Introducing a theme gives your audience a roadmap. Make sure your stories, anecdotes or examples tie back to your main theme.
Tell stories. Fill your talk with personal stories. Some can be simple anecdotes about something that happened to you, your wife or kids. Many stories of friends, people you met, or churchgoers in the congregation. Our brains are not programmed for abstract thoughts. Tell personal stories to connect with your audience.
Use humor, sparingly. Start each talk with a joke or a humorous observation. It is never recommended starting a sales presentation with a joke because it will often land flat. a good speaker can have years of practice and and the audience can expect him to start with a joke but It is not recommended for everyone. However, humor is important. It’s perfectly acceptable and even welcome to take yourself lightly during a presentation. Talks are more realistic if they are delivered live and edited before broadcast. I once saw a live talk and, as every speaker does, everyone make mistakes. But don’t let those mistakes derail the rest of your presentation. . It’s okay to make mistakes. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Use parallel sentence structure. Writing or speaking in parallel sentences is a rhetorical device that you will hear in most great speeches or presentations. For example,, “Once you know you’re a ‘no lack’ person, you won’t run from your enemies, you’ll run to your enemies. You won’t run away from college, thinking it’s too hard, you’ll run to it knowing that you’re well able. You won’t run away
