1
So today my goal is to share with you some tips
2
and techniques that you can use to help you be more comfortable and confident when you're speaking.
3
So let's start by talking about approach.
4
We need to approach communication in an open way.
5
See it as an opportunity to share our ideas, our beliefs, our innovations.
6
But that's not enough.
7
We need to think about the audience that we're speaking to to.
8
Most of us think about here's what I want to say or here's what I need to say.
9
I would suggest that's exactly wrong.
10
You need to think about what does my audience need to hear.
11
The three things I think we need to ask about our audience are what is their knowledge?
12
What is it that they know?
13
In addition to knowledge, we need to be thinking about their expectations.
14
What is it that they expect of me?
15
And then you can choose to conform to those expectations or not.
16
The final thing we need to think about are what are their attitudes.
17
The way you approach your communication is influenced by what your audience thinks about what you're talking on.
18
Are they in favor of it?
19
Are they against it?
20
Are they hesitant, agnostic?
21
But beyond knowing your audience, you have to appreciate the context in which you speak.
22
The first thing about context we need to think about is the time.
23
What time of day are you communicating.
24
If you're talking early in the morning, you might have to have a little more energy to keep people moving.
25
Context also involves emotion.
26
Most of us when we communicate, we think about information.
27
What's in my head, in my heart, I need to communicate to you.
28
But we also communicate a feeling.
29
Maybe we're trying to get people excited and motivate them.
30
But we need to think about the emotion as well as the information.
31
The final bit of context has to do with where you're physically speaking.
32
Think about the way the room is set up.
33
Think about the environment.
34
Is it live?
35
Is it virtual?
36
Those change the way that you communicate.
37
So our approach is important, our audience is important, the context in which we find ourselves is important,
38
and so too is the way we structure our messages.
39
In fact, we remember information up to 40% better when it's structured.
40
The first structure is a chronological structure, past, present, future.
41
Here's how things used to be, here's how they are today, here's where they're going in the future.
42
The next structure happens to be the problem-solution-benefit structure.
43
You start by explaining what the issue is, you talk about how to solve it, and then the benefits to the people.
44
Finally, my favorite structure is the what, so what, now what structure.
45
You start by telling people what the issue is, you tell them why it's important in that so what step, and then you tell them what's next, what's coming.
46
So I want for you bold communication that's confident and compelling.
47
And I want for your message to echo long after you leave the room.
48
Thank you.

- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, chronological /ˌkɹɑnəˈlɑd͡ʒɪkəl/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: solve /sɒlv/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, virtual /ˈvɜɹt͡ʃuəl/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, technique /tɛkˈniːk/, belief /bɪˈliːf/, solve /sɒlv/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: virtual /ˈvɜɹt͡ʃuəl/, chronological /ˌkɹɑnəˈlɑd͡ʒɪkəl/

- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 emotion, expectation, technique 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
