Thank you. It feels great. I feel like listening to you all day.

In step 4 you reminded me of a job interview I had many years ago. During the interview I was asked if I drink (alcohol) on the job. I laughed and said no but I can learn. Lol he hired me right on the spot. Went to work that afternoon as an assistant manager. He liked my response and knew I was joking and I didn't use alcohol.

I like that he low key did each tactic to us to while explaining it to us. The first one, he engaged us by lowkey asking us to imagine how we’d engage our audience. He told stories. He used alliteration like 3 times at least that i noticed while explaining alliteration to us, and not the examples he gave either. Those were the stories! The playful facial expressions and dog panting story, showed his personality. Very coherent and great lecture!

Thanks, Sadie!

I feel highly blessed having found your channel. There are many channels out there providing good quality on similar subjects but what differentiates you from others is your genuine sharing with the world. And what particularly sparkles joy in my heart when you say God bless at the end! In this video you haven‘t but in all others I have watched so far, you did. Thank you 🌝

“and pray about it” 😂 loved that one…lol

Stories are so powerful, connecting and memorable. I've used them so many times. Listeners love stories as long as they are short to your point.

Couldn't agree more! They have to be concise, especially for less experienced storytellers.

Excellent points. I'm not a public speaker but would love to start sharing my passion through short videos. I am taking notes!! Thank you kindly 💜

Listened with rapt attention from start to finish. All the tips were really enlightening but I'll have to say 'tell stories' was my favorite because of the use of words and imagery. Thank you so much for sharing Alex!

Yes, sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we do make decisions about how much of ourselves we let out.

Brilliant and superbly delivered, living the message. Fantastic.

Thank you, David. I truly appreciate you saying that. I've noticed that because I make communication videos, I do catch some flack from time to time if I do _anything_ that deviates from what people think I should be doing (e.g., "You use too many gestures. Some expert! Sheesh."). I get it. Scrutiny like that is fair game. Still, in that light, I appreciate it quite a bit when people like you say I practice what I preach. :-)

So many great tips in all of your videos. Thank you for creating so much awesome content!

Wow!! This is such a helpful video -- with such great tips, Alex. Thank you!! You've showcased many excellent examples here. Last summer I was invited by a group to speak on the topic of home education, since it is a passion of mine and I homeschooled my own daughters. One of the tools I used (at that time) was to tell a personal story related to my decision to homeschool. Plus, at the end of my speech I gave an easy "call to action" whereby I asked my audience to check out an 8-minute inspirational video that would give them more information and more resources on the subject matter. I later got wonderful feedback from the friend (who invited me to speak) that my presentation was a hit -- and very timely. So I actually did those things that you recommend here -- but now I see how effective it is. Thanks again! 🥰 (Sorry for my long winded comment.😃).

I am à grief specialist, how do you talk about it without Being heavy, but realistic on a tabou subject ? Thank you.

@alexanderlyon

Very interesting question. I'll start by saying that I'm not a grief specialist and I really don't know what your day to day work would involve. However, what comes to mind in terms of approaching that subject for a public speaking situation would be using before-and-after examples of people who have experienced grief. It is a heavy topic, no doubt. Still, if you can show people who have gone through a process successfully (whatever that would look like), then you'd be giving some hope and perhaps measure of inspiration for those who not as far down the path yet. So, tell some stories of people who started with a bad experienced but eventually overtime were able to live satisfying, fulfilled lives.

I like stories. Usually I forget talks or presentations very quickly but I remember stories. I don't like calls to action. I feel like the speaker is manipulating and forces me do something.

Hey man, can you make a video about some tips on how to improve the way to speak during a Phone call, more specificaly on sales. Or, if you could recomend me something or someone to watch would be great, if not, its ok too hhahaha great channel btw

Hi, L P. I don't do videos on that topic. I know there are various videos out there, however. I'd just treat KZread like a search engine and start typing in specific questions and I'm sure somebody with a bunch of videos on that topic will show up.

My presentation is technical the story need to be work experience. Do you coach one to one?

Yes!

I find #4 portraying your personality most important. You can do well on all the other 4, and I have seen examples of this, but still I experience something of a hollow because it's just to much by the rules. And nothing but that. It may work, but it just doesn't feel right to me. There has to be something spontaneous, natural and true about what you have to say to breath life into it. Otherwise it is a soap bubble that will burst at some point.

I would love to see a critique of a Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris speech.

Do something small to participate.

Step 1: take piracetam. That’s jt

Tell stories.

The moment a speaker asks the audience to raise their hand I stop listening. It is lazy, cheap, manipulative, and used by novice speakers who took a speaking class about trying to get people engaged when your material is worthless.

That's a little harsh (in my opinion). At least they are trying. But, there are lots of other more interesting ways to get an audience involved.
