Public Speaking Tip from Benjamin Franklin.

 

“If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect.”

Those are the words of Benjamin Franklin. And to our mind it means that to persuade a listener to do something, you need to show them what’s in it for them to do it.

Focusing on listener interests and needs is at the heart of the Speechworks approach toward persuasive communications.  We teach our clients to persuade audiences by focusing our programs on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is tight, simple and focused 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. We’ll teach you how to be a great speaker that focuses on listener interests and persuades.

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
