Try something new for 30 days - Matt Cutts

Effective speaking is not just about words but how we deliver them. In his TED Talk, How to Speak So That People Want to Listen, Julian Treasure shares key techniques to make communication engaging and impactful. He explains how we can avoid common speaking pitfalls and use our voice effectively to ensure our message is heard and valued.

Speaking So That People Want to Listen

<ol><li>Gossip – Speaking negatively about others erodes trust.</li><li>Judging – Constant criticism makes people defensive.</li><li>Negativity – Focusing on problems without solutions drains energy.</li><li>Complaining – Frequent complaints create a toxic environment.</li><li>Excuses – Avoiding responsibility weakens credibility.</li><li>Exaggeration/Lying – Distorting facts reduces trust.</li><li>Dogmatism – Forcing opinions as absolute truths limits open discussion.</li></ol>

Avoid the "7 Deadly Sins" of Speaking.

<ol><li>Honesty – Speak truthfully and with clarity.</li><li>Authenticity – Be yourself and express genuine thoughts.</li><li>Integrity – Stand by your words and be trustworthy.</li><li>Love – Communicate with kindness and empathy.</li></ol>

Use the HAIL Principle:

<ol><li>Register – A deeper voice can convey authority and confidence.</li><li>Timbre – A warm, rich tone makes speech more pleasant.</li><li>Prosody – Using rhythm and variation in tone avoids monotony.</li><li>Pace – Speaking too fast can overwhelm, while too slow can bore listeners.</li><li>Pitch – Modulating pitch helps convey emotions effectively.</li><li>Volume – Adjusting loudness ensures emphasis on key points.</li></ol>

Master Vocal Techniques:

<ol><li>Think before speaking – Ensure your words add value.</li><li>Be present – Focus on the conversation without distractions.</li><li>Listen actively – Understand before responding.</li><li>Use pauses effectively – Silence can add emphasis and clarity.</li><li>Practice mindful speech – Speak with intention and purpose.</li></ol>

Practice Conscious Speaking:

Julian Treasure suggests warming up the voice before speaking to ensure clarity and confidence. <ol><li>Arms up, deep breath in, and sigh out. Repeat to relax and prepare your breath.</li><li>Warm up your lips by saying “Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba.”</li><li>Loosen your lips by making a “brrrrrrrr” sound, like a child imitating a car engine.</li><li>Exercise your tongue by repeating “la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.”</li><li>Roll an R by saying “Rrrrrrrrr” to engage your tongue and improve clarity.</li><li>Stretch your vocal range by saying “we” in a high pitch and “aw” in a low pitch: “Weeeaawww, weeeaawww". </li></ol>

Your body language may shape who you are | Amy Cuddy

Success doesn't come easily or by chance. It is the fruit of Hard work.

<ol><li>Big Dreams </li><li>Big Words </li><li>Big Actions </li><li>Big Moves﻿</li></ol>

The secret of winning with Florencia Andres

The day starts with a dream. A dream doesn't become reality through magic. It takes determination, perseverance, and hard work. A dream expands you. A dream shows not only who you are but who you can become.

Big Dreams

Big dreams can be a little scary, but they are also what makes so many great things possible. A dream will allow the process of achieving the goal. If you are not willing to allow yourself to dream big, then you're not going to set big goals for yourself that help you achieve greatness. Your first step is to simply allow yourself to dream.

Allow Yourself To Dream Big

"Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep."
