Speak Powerfully

Julian Treasure

have you ever experienced that when you speak, people don't listen to you

Annoying isn't it

why?

Julian treasure believes there are seven deadly

sins of speaking

GOSSIP

Judging

Negativity

complaining

exaggeration

blaming

dogmatism

But how can you make your speech powerful

hail

And its not only what you say that matters

it's also the way you say it

For that there is an amazing toolbox

There are 6 tools with which we can play with to increase the power of

speaking

1. Register – to speak with weight

People associate depth of voice with power and

with authority

All great leaders speak with deep voices

2.timbre - the way voice feels

People prefer voices which are rich, smooth and warm

3. Prosody - the meta-language used to impart meaning

People who speak all on one note are really quite hard

to listen to if they don't have any prosody at all.

4. Pace - the speed with which one speaks

Speaking with high pace depicts excitement while

speaking slowly emphasizes emotion

5. pitch indicates arousal

Speaking with different pitch leads to different meanings

6. Volume

High Volume shows excitement in speaker and low

volume can make audience really very attentive

Now Imagine a

world designed for sound.

The world in which speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments

designed consciously

That would be a world that does

sound beautiful and one

where understanding would be the norm
