课程概述

In the professional realm, most speeches and presentations we give are informative in scope. A scientist needs to explain her recent research findings. A financial officer needs to report on quarterly earnings to his company’s board. A technology professional needs to educate a consumer about a new product. Any time you need to convey ideas or demonstrate a process, you’re dealing with informative speaking. Informative speaking is a fun puzzle. You need to think from the perspective of your audience to identify what they need to hear in order to understand the key ideas. How much does the audience already know? What are the most important elements to convey? How should one convey these ideas with appropriate breadth and depth given the time constraints of the speech? This demands a strategic approach to speech design that we’ll undertake in this class. By the end of the course, you should be able to explain complex ideas vividly and accessibly, design clear and compelling presentation slides, convey your passion for a topic while maintaining your professional credibility, and speak dynamically from notes and/or a manuscript. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback....

The speaker did a commendable job linking the subject to appropriate values, aligning the topic with moral or ethical principles that resonate with the audience. The connection to these values felt meaningful, though there were moments where a more explicit link might have strengthened the presentation. The support provided through facts and quotations was solid, reinforcing the arguments effectively, though there were a few areas where additional evidence could have enhanced credibility. The inclusion of stories was a powerful tool for engagement. These narratives were told in a way that captured attention, adding emotional depth and helping to contextualize the values discussed. However, more variety in the stories could have provided a broader perspective and prevented repetition. Overall, the speaker's invention was strong and well-structured, but with room for a bit more depth in certain areas to elevate it to the highest standard.

Dynamic public speaking is an essential skill that can significantly impact how a message is received by an audience. It involves more than just delivering a speech; it requires engaging the audience, effectively using body language, vocal variety, and adapting the message to the audience's needs.

It has been a long time since I have followed Matt's works and videos, and all I can say is that they are enriching and great like himself. I have hugely improved my oral skills and as a law student, my oral advocacy skills. I am much indebted to you, Dear Matt!
