...Speeches Sweaty palms, perspiration running down your face, dry mouth; these are all the signs of someone who is nervous about giving a speech. When thinking about speaking sometimes it brings fear. It is important to remember that public speaking is a part of everyday life. You may not have a large audience, but you do have an audience and you must convey what you are trying to get across to them. Public speaking is another form of conversation. There is as rich history in public speaking. As early as ancient Greece speeches were required as part of the education. Plato said that Rhetoric is the art of winning the soul by discourse. Aristotle identified the basic elements of good speech and persuasion as ethos, logos, and pathos. The ethos (credibility, believability) of the speaker was important; the logos (logic) behind any conclusions drawn by the speaker during the course of the speech needed to be valid and clear; and the pathos (emotional appeals) were important in making human connections between the speaker and the listener. In the Bible there are many examples of this process. “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth and taught them saying, Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” (Thompson King James Version Bible, Psalm 139:1-10)This familiar...

...Entertaining Speech An entertaining speech is one whose sole purpose is to have the audience enjoy the presentation.

...Warren Buffett Motivation “When you’re associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn’t get any better than that.” — Warren Buffett The four motivational theories that were analyzed showed a similar element on how leaders can motivate their employees. It assumed the expectations and responsibilities of an employee in a company. Out of the four motivational theories, Warren Buffet has applied McGregor’s Theory Y to motivate his employees. Buffett strongly believes that trust is the main element to motivate employees. Buffett gives empowerment and responsibilities to his heads for them to take ownership over their work. He doesn’t always focus on earning money because the heads of his companies are almost millionaires; Buffett pays his people equally and fairly so that his employees don’t feel ripped off and put their trust in Buffett too. As he wants his managers to act like owners, therefore he treats his managers like owners. Buffett wants his employees to paint their own “picture” and find their own ways of doing things, he doesn’t want to stand behind his employees and tell them to “add blue or red into their picture” because then the employees would lose their creativity. This would also motivate the employees to produce a better work as the employees know they've got Buffett’s trust. I like Buffett’s way of motivating his employees as he used a very humble approach to his people. Everyone should speak up and share their ideas and creativity...
