課程 1（共 4 門，Specialization Dynamic Public Speaking）

This course gives you a reliable model for preparing and delivering effective presentations. In business, in school, and in public life, we are often called upon to “make a few comments.” Often, people tasked with such speeches become flummoxed. They might not know what to talk about, or ramble without making a point, or simply be confusing to listen to. This course is designed to help you shine where others falter. We’ll learn how organize talks clearly, write them memorably, and deliver them confidently. By the end of the course, you should be able to significantly reduce your fear of public speaking, use rehearsal techniques to develop a strong, vibrant speaking voice, and perform speeches with dynamic movement and gestures. The speech model that we’ll practice is useful for briefings, elevator talks, interviews, and even as a structure for hour-long presentations. If you’re a beginner, this course will help you quickly master the fundamentals of speaking. If you’re a seasoned speaker, this course will help you better understand public speaking and push you to the next level.

Week 2: Making ideas compelling and memorable

Now that we have the course foundation out of the way, we can work on our basic speech model: the key point speech. I love this format. It's the Swiss army knife of speeches. This basic model works in interviews, short presentations, elevator talks, and can even structure an hour long presentation. After overviewing the assignment, we’ll talk about how to plan out your speeches. By the end of the week, you should have some tools for quickly putting together short presentations. You can practice this by analyzing some speeches.

In this video, we'll listen to some oral arguments,

and then you'll try to pick out the claims and support.

The goal here is to practice hearing the components of an argument instead of just

seeing them, so please listen to this first clip.

>> Seattle's a great place to live, I've lived here for a while and

I've come to love this city and the region.

There's beautiful scenery here, mountains and

beaches, we have green grass year round.

The weather is exceptionally mild, you may have heard that it rains here a lot.

It does stay cloudy for most of the winter, but

we get less actual rainfall than many other places in the country.

If you're looking for a job, Seattle's still going through a bit of a boom,

especially if you're in a technology industry.

We are host to a number of huge tech firms like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

I've loved it here and just think that Seattle's a great place to live.

>> All right, that one was pretty straightforward.

They open with a claim, Seattle's a great place to live.

They delved into the evidence, it has beautiful scenery,

mild weather, good job market, and then they ended with the claim again.

Now on the other hand,

let's listen to this person talking about being a good salesperson.

>> I don't know, I suppose one of the most important things to think about when

dealing with a new client,

is thinking about how they're going to interact with our product.

I mean, we know what we want to do and how we want to do, but

it becomes more challenging.

And I think this is the role of a good salesperson, to figure out exactly where

and how the client wants to make use of what we have to offer.

I certainly remember a salesperson we used to have.

I forget his name, but he had been raised in that old, let me sell you a product,

sort of way of thinking.

So he'd be like, when he was with a client, he'd be all like,

here's what my system can do for you.

And he never changed his sales pitch, it was always the same.

Didn't matter if he was talking to a small ten person company or

a major manufacturer.

He just figured he was so smooth that he could move the product.

I don't remember sales figures, but hey no surprise, they weren't great, right?

>> All right, so that one was a little bit more challenging, but

it's the kind of thing you would hear in a typical conversation.

The argumentative elements are in there kicking around, but

they're not put on display, you have to dig around for them.

So if you listen to that, you can pull out the basic claim,

good sales people listen to the clients' needs.

But the speaker never said that claim overtly.

And in a similar way, you can suss out that the story of the bad salesperson

was there for support, but this link is not as clear as it could be.

So as speakers, we can be clearer if we make our claim, support, and

warrant, easy for audiences to hear.

And as listeners, we can evaluate speeches more insightfully,

once we uncover the relevant elements.
