Here are the key points from Julian Treasure's TED Talk, "How to speak so that people want to listen," broken down into simpler terms:
Be Honest and Authentic: People trust speakers who are genuine and truthful.
Keep it Clear and Simple: Avoid confusing language and use easy-to-understand words.
Control Your Volume: Speak loud enough to be heard but not too loud to overwhelm.
Mind Your Pace: Speak at a moderate speed to keep your audience engaged and understanding.
Watch Your Tone: Use different tones to match your message, whether it's warm and friendly or serious.
Vary Your Pitch: Change your pitch to add interest and avoid sounding boring.
Use Strategic Pauses: Pause at the right moments to let your audience absorb information and emphasize key points.
Remembering these tips can help you speak in a way that captures people's attention and keeps them listening 🎧
