Speaking Tip from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

 

“If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?”

Those are the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the Russian literary giant who died last month at age 89.  He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970 and was a brave dissident who spoke out against the Soviet regime.

Anyone who wants to be a great public speaker should heed his words. And while you’re at it, take a moment and read his obituary. Here is the one that ran in the New York Times. 

Like Solzhenitsyn, the best speakers say something important to their listeners.  The best speakers take a position. 

In our workshops, we help you learn how create presentations that tell where you stand on an issue. We focus 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 help you learn how to stake out a position.

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.
