Speaking Tips From Chief Justice Roberts.
 

Newly confirmed Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts drew much attention during his recent confirmation hearings for his deft use of a baseball analogy. “Judges are like umpires.  Umpires don’t make the rules.  They apply them.”

That’s a nice way of explaining a rather complex concept: the role of the judiciary. And whether you like or dislike John Roberts, all must admit that he was an effective communicator during his confirmation hearings.

The use of analogies is just one of many tactics we teach those who attend our programs at Speechworks.  Our programs focus primarily on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is tight, simple and focuses on audience needs. Speechworks teaches a simple Formula for focusing on listener needs.  We believe that if you have strong content, you will be more confident when you get up to speak.
  • How to deliver the message in a style that connects with the listeners.  We focus on eye contact, gestures, voice energy, and facial energy. Our coaches will give you private feedback on where you most need to improve.

Consider attending an upcoming workshop. It just might lead to a judgeship.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net
