Passing the Message Impact Speaking Strategies for Effective Public Communication

As members of the Transforming Origami Artists community, we understand the importance of conveying our message effectively to achieve our goals. Recently, I had the privilege of exploring The Art of Passing the Message – Impact Speaking with fellow professionals at the Filipina CEO Circle (FCC) general membership meeting. In this blog post, I'll share key takeaways from that discussion and provide practical tips on how to pass your message across in public speaking.

Why Effective Public Communication Matters

In today's fast-paced digital age, it's easy to get lost in a sea of noise. With so many messages vying for our attention, it's crucial to learn how to make yours stand out. Whether you're a business owner, thought leader, or aspiring speaker, the ability to communicate your message effectively is vital.

The Power of Storytelling

One of the most effective ways to pass your message across is through storytelling. Stories have the power to evoke emotions, create connections, and leave lasting impressions. When we share our personal experiences, we build trust with our audience and make them more receptive to our message.

For instance, consider a CEO who wants to inspire her team to innovate. She could share a story about overcoming obstacles and learning from failures, showing how those experiences have shaped her leadership style and approach to innovation.

Livid Language Adding Emotion to Your Message

To truly connect with your audience, it's essential to use language that resonates with them on an emotional level. This is where livid language comes in – words or phrases that stir emotions, create tension, or evoke a sense of urgency.

For example, instead of saying We need to improve our sales numbers, you could say We're facing a crisis! Our sales are plummeting, and we need to take drastic measures to turn things around. The livid language adds an emotional layer to the message, making it more memorable and impactful.

Practical Tips for Passing Your Message Across

To effectively pass your message across in public speaking, consider the following strategies

1. Know your audience Understand who you're speaking to and tailor your message accordingly.
2. Focus on benefits Instead of just listing features or facts, explain how they benefit your audience.
3. Use storytelling techniques Share personal anecdotes, use metaphors, or create vivid descriptions to bring your message to life.
4. Make it concise Keep your message short and sweet – attention spans are fleeting!
5. Practice, practice, practice Rehearse your speech until you feel comfortable with the material.

Conclusion

Passing your message across in public speaking requires a combination of art and science. By incorporating storytelling techniques, using livid language to evoke emotions, and focusing on benefits, you'll be well on your way to making a lasting impact on your audience. Remember to know your audience, keep it concise, and practice your delivery.
