HOW TO SPEAK SO THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LISTEN

Julian Treasure's Ted talk, "How to speak so that people want to Listen," made me think about how we communicate. He talks about seven bad speaking habits: Gossip, judging, negativity, complaining, making excuses, exaggerating and forcing opinions. I agree with him because these habits can lessen the interest of people instead of increasing it in a conversation. 

He also shares a method or strategy called the HAIL method. Honesty, authe
ncity, integrity and love. According to me, this is really a good method to make our words more powerful and meaningful. If we are real, true and kind then people trust us and they also listen to us.

Another key lesson from it is that our style of speaking also matters. Using the right tone, speed and silence at right time can make our words stronger. This made me focus on my own communication skills. After listening this, I want to talk in a way that inspires and connects others to my words.

 BLOG #1: Your body language may shape who you are From this video I have learnt that our body language can change how we feel about ourselves, not just how others see us. If we stand in a confident pose for two minutes, it would help us to feel more confident and also help us to perform better in a stressful situation. I agree with this idea because if we feel confident, it makes a big difference and also gives us more good vibes and even a stressful event becomes controllable, but I feel that it may not work for everyone.  The speaker in the video explained the idea in a well mannered way by using different stories, research and many examples. This video has impacted me a lot as it made me think that how i presented myself in the job interviews or speeches at University. Whenever I would give speeches or interviews this video would remind me to to feel confident even if I am not at that time. The idea of fake it till you become it is useful and easy to try.
