110 Techniques of Communication
David JP Phillips has spent 7 years studying 5000 speakers, amateurs and professionals in order for the first time in history to detail every single skill a communicator from stage or in a presentation uses in order to deliver their message.
David JP Phillips starts off by welcoming the audience. He speaks about his journey which included analyzing 5,000 public speakers from all over the world to understand the qualities of an accomplished speaker.
This resulted in finding 110 core skills of communication and public speaking. The more of the skills one fulfills the better a public speaker they are. He picked a few he wanted to show the audience. He goes on to demonstrate them. Namely, vertical movement, horizontal movement, empowering head angle, volume decrease, tempo decrease and effect pause.
He stated that communication skills are not a talent; they are learned and acquired through life. David emphasizes on body language, how an open body language increases the effectiveness of speech delivery. He demonstrates gestures and how equally important they are along with verbal communication. How slow pace makes listeners more intrigued and attentive, rather than a high pace. Next he demonstrated the importance of pauses during speaking. How silence is better than an ‘uuhhhh’. He finally displays the ‘ducain smile’ (Smiling with the whole face) and finishes the speech off with a combination of few of the core skills.
