TEDTalk Tuesday – How to speak so that people want to listen

Julian Treasure dives in on how to speak powerfully to make change. He starts out by explaining the “seven deadly sins” of speaking or habits. Things like; gossip, judging, negativity, complaining, excuses, lying and dogmatism make his list of speaking habits to stay away from. On the flip side, there are essential foundations to build speech off of in order to promote good speaking habits. These include; honesty, authenticity, integrity and love (well wishes).

The HAIL method of speaking, as Treasure illustrates, counteracts the negative speaking habits we tend to trap ourselves in. Treasure goes on to teach about his speaking tool box. He believes everyone can learn speaking tools and new techniques to improve the powerful impact of your voice and the importance of your speech.
