Effective
Communications
President
Barack Obama is a master communicator because he engages his audience, builds a
relationship with the listeners, and he makes one feel an affiliation because
he appears to understand what they may be experiencing in their own life. His sense of humor is contagious and he
delivers his speeches in a non-threatening way.
In the field of politics it is very important to connect with the
audience in a positive and convincing light.
During the President’s first presidential campaign he used the code
words ‘Yes We Can” and this slogan resonated in the minds of a multitude of
people. That slogan was hard to forget
during the campaign season and it evoked positive thoughts in people that had
just experienced an economic downfall.
I
do not feel comfortable speaking to a large group of people because I have
difficulty with the speed and intonation of my voice. I would like to be convincing to people and
attempt to influence their thoughts because those are the skills that a great
communicators must possess. President
Obama portrays a lot of charisma and his smile can light up an entire room. I would like to learn some of the positive
techniques that he possesses because I have great ideas of how to improve the
early childhood field. I need to put my
nervousness aside and step out on faith and realize that the only way that I can
become a more effective speaker is to practice.
Nikki,
ReplyDeleteI also feel that the president is a great speaker and communicator. He grasps your attention and makes the information relatable. I too get nervous when I have to speak in front of an audience. I want to be able to learn to slow down and not need to rush. I feel also by practicing it will assist in becoming a more effective speaker.
I agree that the president is a great communicator. He has a way with words that makes you want to listen to everything he has to say. He knows how to talk to all types of people. Often public speakers use words that everyday people may not understand. The president speaks in simple words that all are able to understand.
