The writer of this book Dale Carnegie received a message that he was surprised to see. The message was sent by a man named Mario Lajoie, who told Carnegie that he was coming to New York to train for one of his speeches. When they met in New York, Lajoie told him about his problem.

The Quick and Easy Way

The Havana Country Club was about to celebrate its founder’s 50th birthday. Lajoie was summoned to deliver the main speech that evening and to present the Silver Cup to the Founder. Lajo was an attorney, but in his life he had never given a speech in front of the public. Actually he was very afraid of giving speech among the people. He felt that due to a bad speech, people would make fun of him and his wife, which might also reduce his respect among clients. This is why he came to New York. The Quick and Easy Way

The challenge was that Lajo was scheduled to stay in New York for only three weeks, and so he practiced speaking in Carnegie’s class three to four times each night. Lajoie gave his speech at the country club after three weeks. His speech was so great that Time magazine wrote a report about it. He described Lajoie as a “silver-tongued orator”.

Vance Bushnell was the Vice President of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, a few years ago he was called to speak among 2000 people from all over America. He had just started his career in the insurance industry but due to his success he was chosen to give a 20 minute long speech. Bushnell accepted it but made a mistake. He memorized every word of his speech and practiced his expression in front of the mirror.

When that day came, Bushnell stood on the stage, but they forgot everything. He took a step back and tried to start his speech again. A story needs to be set up. There was no railing on the stage and there was a lot of free space behind the wall and the stage.

Effective Speaking

Bushnell continued backstage on stage and repeated some lines of his speech again and again. But when he took his step back for the fourth time, he fell down from the stage and the audience started laughing loudly. It is good that the audience found this to be a part of their act.

Bushnell felt so embarrassed that he wanted to quit his job. But his resignation from his seniors was not accepted and helped him to regain his lost confidence. After some time, Bushnell became the best speaker of the organization. He never wrote his speech again.

Speaking Effectively the Quick and Easy Way

Have you ever heard someone speak on a difficult subject?

Did you understand that speech?

The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking by Dale Carnegie

When they are speaking, then maybe your attention will be moving here and there. No matter how good you are, there is a flaw in being a public speaker. Your audience will not listen to you if you use very difficult words. Their attention will not be on you if you repeat only the things written in a book in your speech. You have to say your speech in that speech so that the audience can connect with you.

So, how can you give a great speech,

first thing, you should only speak on that which you have knowledge. Your speech may be on a topic that you have studied well, it can also be about your profession. It can also be about the difficulties of your life and how you faced them. It can also be about your hobby or it may be about one of your unique experiences. Your audience knows whether you have missed it or you are speaking from the heart. All these things make a difference whether your speech is worth listening to or not.
Second, be excited about your topic. Show your audience your enthusiasm. Stay positive and talk about your topic. This will make the audience pay attention to your talk, would like to hear you more.
Third, be eager to share your point with the audience. Your excitement should reach your audience. Keep your attention on the audience and not on yourself. Say your words in words that they can understand.

Carnegie once organized a public speaking course for New York City bank officers. These officers were very busy and had very little time left for the course. Jackson, an officer at Citibank, was asked to give a speech to the class. Actually he was not ready for this. In haste, he bought a copy of Forbes’ magazine from outside his office and then he went to class.

For his speech, he read a magazine article titled “You only have ten years to succeed”. Jackson tried to talk about this article but he did not succeed, there was no real message in his speech. It was clear from his body language and voice. When he finished his speech, Carnegie told him that he had nothing of his own in his speech.

People don’t want to hear what the author of Forbes magazine has said. People wanted to know about Jackson and his thinking.

Jackson reread that article. He realized that he did not agree with what was written in that magazine. So now he recalled his experiences as a bank executive for his speech. The next week he came back and talked to the class, shared his experience and people in the class listened to him carefully. It was clear that his second speech was more effective. Similarly, you can also become a successful speaker.

Earning the Right to Talk

If you want to be a good speaker then you must know how to keep the audience interested. Let us know some ways that will help you in this.

First, limit the subject of your speech. Shorten your topic, especially when you are given limited time to talk about it. What if you started talking around the world in your speech? Perhaps your audience will start to get bored. Focusing on a topic will make your audience understand you better. This will also help you to follow a logical pattern.
Second, you must have reserve power. You should know about your topic by doing research and study. In this way you will be able to keep your thoughts clear. This will also prepare you for the questions asked from the audience.
Third, your speech should have as many examples and illustrations as possible. Give your talk a human touch by sharing your experience with the audience. People will like to hear about you as long as you don’t talk rudely. Use the name to personalize your point. You can also use mind names in your example. This will help the audience understand who said what and who did what. If you want to do more, then you can use the dialog in your example to give it the form of a drama. You can make your talk more relatable by interacting with the audience.
Fourth, use strong and well-known words that create pictures in the mind. Create a realistic picture for your audience. For example, when you say “dog”, different types of dogs can come in the mind of the audience, but when you say “bulldog” or “German shepherd”, the picture becomes more clear.

The author of the best-selling book “Inside” was working on an article series about John Gunther Mental Hospitals. Whatever institute he went to, he researched there and gathered information. Gunther used different sources for information. He also studied the statistics of the private hospital along with the report of the national and local government. However, he was able to write only four articles. This was enough to make a good speech.

The notebook he used during his research must have had a weight of about twenty pounds. But the article which was published was of few ounces. Gunther tells us that there is no need to include everything. Only important points should be written, just like when giving a public speech. Keep all the other factors separate for future use like your reserve power.

Last thing, make your voice strong and flexible. As you practice regularly, your performance will get better. You can record your video or audio to check the pitch, volume, speed and variation of your voice. With this help, you can tell your speech to your friends before going on stage.

Once Carnegie went to a summer resort in the Swiss Alps. They stayed in the hotel where some lecturers from England used to come to talk to the hotel guests every week. One of them was a well-known English novelist and his topic was “The Future of Novel”.

When she spoke, she told that she had not chosen this topic. His words were not clear and he did not even look at the audience. It seemed as if she was ignoring him. Sometimes she was looking at her notes and sometimes at the ground. She did not seem to be connected not only to her topic but also to the audience.

It seemed as if she was talking to people, not from the ground. If you want to be a good and effective speaker, then you have to avoid doing this. Always speak your mind with passion and passion and most importantly, connect with your audience.
