Remembering Johnnie Cochran: Master of "Bumper Sticker Oratory" |
|
| |
Love him or
hate him, there is one thing everyone should admit about
Johnnie Cochran; the man was a great communicator. He was a master of “Bumper
Sticker Oratory.”
The defense
lawyer’s death last month brought much news footage of
his most famous O.J.
Simpson closing argument. “If it doesn’t fit, you must
acquit.”
Now that's a great Bumper
Sticker. |

“I need you up here in 10 minutes. I want you
to brief our chairman on your plans to capture
the Southeast Market. He wants a 10 minute
overview. Then he’ll ask you questions.”
Gulp. How do you pull together a 10-minute
presentation when you have virtually no time to
prepare? |

When Henry
Ford introduced the Model T, the joke was that you could have
your car any color you wanted “Just so long as you want
black.” Unfortunately, most public speaking training is the
same.
Most
public speaking training takes place in workshops. But
Speechworks is changing that model with Communication
Situation Coaching. |
