]]> And Oh what a night! The first ever TEDx Lewisham. A night of Love and Empowerment.

As the speakers’ coach for the first ever TEDx Lewisham, I sat in the audience like a proud parent, listening to the very best version of every speech. It was magical.

The essentials of speeches that make a difference were evident.

Confidence

They were CONFIDENT speakers. They prepared thoroughly. They’d practised alone, in front of family and friends, in front of each other. Over and over. Not a trace of nerves; not a shaky voice to be heard, not even in their opening sentences.

And all seamlessly woven together by our loving and empowering host, ‘Ronke Kokoruwe. Confident speakers are, indeed, frequent speakers, and it showed.

Connection

The CONNECTION between speakers and audience was palpable:

🔴 It was a community event and every speaker lives in Lewisham

🔴 They spoke about real issues that affect us all, that we all care about

🔴 Speaker and audience interacted in that sweetspot where relevant meets relatable

🔴 We embodied diversity. Diverse ideas. Diverse speakers – gender, age, ethnicity, disabled people, work sector… Diverse audience, incl the 3-year-old there to support his mum 😊

🔴 And, sealing the connection, storytelling that was vulnerable, humorous, emotive, had you crying one moment and laughing the next, was warm and inviting, relevant and, above all, memorable

People will be retelling those stories for years and remembering how they made them think and feel.

Change

TED. #ideasworthspreading. As John F Kennedy said, “The only reason to give a speech is to CHANGE the world.”

Every speech was alive with a vision and a clear message to change hearts and minds, change how we now think, feel and act in our own lives.

Every speaker was seen, heard and made an impact.

All directed and curated by the energetic, empowering and caring Rachel Onikosi. She set the bar high and the team brought home the gold!

]]> For me, there are four game-changing speaking lessons we need to learn when we are working on our public-speaking skills.  They are body language, interesting voice/vocal variety, how to persuade with power and inspiring your audience.  I see them as game changing because each one challenges you out of your comfort zone.

Body language and vocal variety skills

You may not have previously actively considered other skills, such as how to structure a speech, identifying your purpose, using enriching language, visual aids, researching the topic, but it is unlikely that you have any difficulty putting them into action.  In contrast, it is far more difficult, perhaps even uncomfortable, to become proficient in body language and vocal variety.

I remember my experience learning these skills.  I felt awkward, a bit embarrassed.  I thought people might laugh at me, think I was silly.  Then my evaluators told me how my body language and vocal variety had strengthened my speech, how and why what I did was effective in reinforcing my words, creating interest and engagement.  They encouraged me to go even further.

You use body language and vocal variety in your everyday speech, so there’s no reason to abandon it when you’re in front of an audience.  Modify it, almost certainly, but abandon it?  Definitely not.

Persuasive and inspirational speeches

Persuasive and inspirational speeches are also game changers in bringing together all your learnings about public speaking, while simultaneously encapsulating why we really speak – to persuade and convince and/or to pass on life lessons so that others are inspired to make changes in their own life.  To achieve these lofty purposes, you need all the elements of public speaking to be working effectively to connect with your audience and speak with clarity and conviction.

Always work with a mentor or coach

Picture yourself composing and delivering your first inspirational speech.  I would suggest you can’t do it alone.

You need a mentor or a coach who really understands what is an inspirational speech.  And, in my experience, without that support, the chances of nailing the project are low.  I wonder how many professional public speakers could explain the difference between a persuasive and an inspirational speech.

The distinction is important.  It’s also important that speakers who have an inspirational story to share are helped to do so effectively and that they can realise the benefits of so doing for themselves and their audience.  For the speaker, there is definitely catharsis that comes with articulating the emotional and, usually, painful experience.  For audiences, there is a deeply moving and memorable story, with important learnings that can inspire them to make changes in their own lives.
