Deceptive Public Speakers

Deceptive Public Speakers   Deceptive Public Speakers and presenters - or just the blind leading the blind? A disappointing deception perpetrated in the so-called public space and the presentation stage. For many years? S a (now fading, thank God)? Standard? for companies that have one? Motivational programs? Speakers at the annual marketing, sales and other conferences. As a veteran public speaker and a founding member of the National Speakers? Association of SA (NSAs), I must declare an interest. The purpose of this article is: 1) the parties believe? Cans? Nature, what they can for their money and speaker 2) I hope that, unless some young people who want to be speakers is very inappropriate? Replacement? road.My opinion of the role of a real speaker is that you have a brief to provide sufficient information to understand the audience and the results of the transfer or conference. You can then individually craft or something? Optimize? an existing presentation suitable for the event and then delivered in a material and, hopefully? professionally funny? way.What triggered this article can only be Damascene experience. Biblical scale share fell from my eyes when I realized that most of the self-proclaimed? Up? Speakers throughout the world have made public spaces in the public parroting and parody. And some South African speakers are now trapped in the same trap. And 'the equivalent, if you wish to Madonna, Josh Groban or Placido Domingo lip sync. Why the analogy? Well, it seems that many of these speakers to lea? Off-pat? every single word of what they say on stage. Worse, they feel, the same store and with every vocal inflection, movement and gesture - even the? Spontaneous? arched eyebrows, and pregnancy, but completely designed pause.I studied voice and acting under the eagle eye of Respect Rita Maas-Phillips in Cape Town. We trainees thespians has become very familiar with the genius of Constantin Stanislavsky. He was the director of the renowned Moscow Art Theater and the father? Method? Act, which was subsequently adopted - a unique effect - demanding film actors. Seasoned actors live long enjoyed. In the method that you? Where? the character. So if Daniel Day-Lewis played a leading role in? My left foot ", was supported for his character even off-camera set. When you get to play Quasimodo, you should go to eat, talk and interact as you think that the legendary Hunchback of Notre Dame is. What is the public were, as they say in South Africa? The software Jakob? the real thing? Makoya? It seems that competitiveness and inappropriate to a desperate need for recognition from colleagues to speak in public and in public is higher than the end of (ex)? Art ', in an exercise in mimicry. Parrot-fashion leaing and highly manipulative NLP-driven stage movements prevail. I cottoned on that show, if I have one of these characters, the so-called? Performing arts? some young speakers. Each time you repeat the same few lines, inflections and movements with fear and mathematical precision. E 'stato come back and a slo-mo playback of a television series. He proudly proclaims that this is like? "To provide a consistent and predictable result of a public, from time to time. This is, unfortunately, the school Eisteddfod competition or room type? Saving?. At worst, neurolinguistic manipulation. It is not even decent amateur act. Even if an actor commit to heart, his lines, the nuances and variations of each performance, there is an unforgettable impact and make art. But the parrots of the circuit does not speak? T which can also be space. You can create a clone of their performance as a function by function and location after location. All good communication on a matter of course, is always to die? Skeleton? on some aspects. So yes, it can often be a degree of repetition. But there is another way and every time, because the only public energy, dynamism and interaction? or lack of IT! So why am I so this galloping trend in public speaking? Quite simply, why? S is an absolute waste and abuse of what may, with the right attitude and understanding, a gift of speaking. If you have a good feeling for the issues you d like in a presentation, you have a sequence or line of thinking and have your support materials (if required) together, then comes the time for the actual art. The first, more commercial, the source, the structure of the material, have a clear sense of where? Re going and how long the presentation or talk. But you keep intentionally? Open? Their receptivity to subtle audience interaction (not necessarily spoken, but a? Vibe?) And feedback in the form of commitment, responsiveness and so on, the driving element of your presentation. This can happen even with a typical non-interactive? Keynote? Address seconds? and the highest form of communication - makes all the demands of preparation, but then rely on the universe, God, your higher consciousness, intuition, the ancestors, the muse, or whatever you want to call you as a tool for something Hot and value of your audience. Yes, even though it could be a business presentation, you can? Edge? that is unique and different.When you? Re adequate ego-free and you understand that? only the act or the co-player through which such a message is delivered - but not the sole author - that is amazing, and sustainable change can take place. People are affected and infected by the integrity and consistency of the message. You? Ll potentially lower demand for complaint, because the undisceing masses are mainly looking for a quick fix. And there are countless cases of fraud are just waiting for their version of a? Just add water and stir? Formula. Don? T have heard cynics who say that we talk about integrity or the communication is not present? T possible or even desirable. Instead of talking to other people for whom this is a norm rather than the exception? and discover your true speaking and presenting potential.The role should intuition? t be underestimated. For those who have the gift, is the sub-conscious? Reading? energy and the demands that a person or the public. You will remember that examples or analogies that you hadn? T years. Or that it went very high disclosure of personal experiences and then? Healing? Information - because you were truly functioning. He is ready, you may also have tried to ensure that you have me the correct time. But she spoke to the heart of our being, knowing that you are not alone, but in harmony and together with? Ways. Nothing? Mystical? About this. And 'choice to manage in a different and much more powerful. You? Ll know and feel the difference and so disce audiences.By Clive Simpkins June 2005clive@imbizo.comMay be freely used with appropriate attributionAlso in tomorrowtoday.biz Newsletter About the Author Clive is a marketing strategist and communication and published book author.
