Craig Strachan - Keep Talking!

MAY 3, 2011

Craig Valentine offers 10 simple guidelines for adding impact to your speech. Included are: 1. Don’t move all the time. If you are always moving then no movement will be meaningful. Your audience will never know what’s most important. Move with a purpose. When there is no reason to move, don’t. Don’t use the same gesture over and over again. This is evidence of a habit and most likely distracts from your presentation. Read the full list with more details and audio-examples here.

Tools to analyze and ultimately improve conversation and communication generally have traditionally come in the form of suggestions or guidelines written in a textbook or a how-to-do-it trade book. But, recently, software programs such as Cogito have been developed. These programs are based on an extremely thorough analysis of all sorts of communication signals, especially nonverbal signals, for example, varied or consistent emphasis, mimicking or mirroring, and vocal-cord tension.

The best competitive pitching structures follow the golden guideline: “Counter competitors, but avoid attacking them”. Preparation is everything. While we focus on our content, and sometimes fuss about our slides, it’s essential we never forget about the framework holding everything together. How will we introduce and conclude? How should we segment the content into logical bite-sized pieces? How do we pull together our fundamental arguments? How can we handle the questions at the end?

Although non-sexist language is becoming the norm, it may help to review some of the major issues and guidelines involved in avoiding sexist talk. The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has proposed guidelines for nonsexist (gender-free, gender-neutral, or sex-fair) language. These guidelines concern the use of the generic word man , the use of generic he and his , and sex-role stereotyping.

What are you sight guidelines? Do you take the time to get on stage before you speak--preferably the stage on which you'll be speaking? I ask because it's a step overlooked by many speakers, or one dismissed by some organizers, probably because it sounds too simple. Why would you need some orientation to the stage before you speak?

If you want to get into the game, begin by reviewing the following guidelines to see if you have what it takes. Actors want to direct. Directors want to produce. And consultants want to be kick ass speakers. And why not? The pay is good. It doesn’t take much time. And it’s a lot less heavy lifting than most consulting gigs. Easier said that done, however. Delivering a kick ass kick ass is not as easy as it looks.

Before you give your next presentation, use the guidelines above to determine if your presentation feels “contrasty” enough. “There is no quality in the world that is not what it is merely by contrast.”. Herman Melville, Moby-Dick. When you think of the word “dramatic” you probably think of things like: The steep, chasmic gulf of the Grand Canyon. The sudden, violent shower scene, thirty minutes into Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho”.
