Many thanks to Jeff Roy (Jean-François Roy)! You changed my opening speech presentation from boring to something interesting. Let me share you my real research . story. Before I start my research presentation I would like to share you my personal story that makes me interested on the idea of agricultural insurance. When I came to Mozambique, I surprised watching different empty bottles everywhere. So, I decided to write my research proposal on WTP for waste glass bottle in Maputo city ( Master Degree). However, different professors suggested me to change the title since it is not directly related with my profession. So, my supervisor advised me to change my title by willingness to pay for horticultural insurance. I felt really bad that day because I couldn’t have any idea about it. So I get out the point and I come to present on Willingness to Pay for Horticulture Insurance: The case study of Tomato Farmers in Moamba District, Mozambique.
Here is what I created: *slams pencil on the table* Look at this pencil. Look at it. Does anybody know where it came from? The Earth people. The Earth. The only Earth we got. And we choose to take advantage of this.
Damn Deedly Da WOW. HaHa That actually gave me an idea. Cause we have a project in english for freewriting and It WAS A SPEECH and we are gonna pass it tomorrow immediately so that really helped THANKS😂😂
No problem, haha. You're in school already? My school doesn't start until the 10th of August. I'm going to highschool/college so this year is gonna be hectic. I hope you do good on your freewriting by the way.
As a former Canadian Toastmaster, I always use the element of surprise in one way or another as an initial attention getter. At times, even to a unilingual English audience, I can use words and expression from French and Spanish with no expectation of anyone in the audience needing to know one word of those languages, especially as they are EMOTIVE or romance languages. As an example, once the audience is aware that I am a retired electronic technician who is sometimes thought of as "the engineer without the degree", I might start with "The Oscillator Story". That might well sound as if I am about to give a technical description, but this is far from the case! In reality it is a true story that happened to me some years back, sitting alone thinking about an interpersonal problem. As I pondered, I realized that that problem is self-perpertuating! That was it! In a matter of seconds in my head alone I transposed all the details of the problem into the equivalent of the electronic engineering of an oscillator, resolved it that way, as if I were that engineer d designing the oscillator, from scratch, then just as fast re-transposed the results back into the interpersonal problem environment and there lay not only the answer to that problem but additionally to many, many more. Really NOT the technical dissertation one might have expected at the outset! How was this possible? All the salient elements of both problems were essentially quantitative, NOT qualitative, so mathematics of th e dynamics, therein on both sides were the common denominator which made that, and far more possible. Some, on reading this might silently think, even at times gritting their very teeth, that I have some very powerfull speaking skills, But when I listen to those who, also having powerful speaking skills, win big competitions, I have no expectations or real belief that such competitions would be worth my entering. Notwithstanding all the "pragmatic" speaking skills therein, I would not elicit the rave popularity it also takes to win such competitions, not wpould I want my success to be beholding to such popularity at the experience of my mettle (and that Shakespearian word has NOTHING to do with Aluminum or steel! Think, then of your club: would your club want to deal with such mettle in their fold? do you think that if I were to give such a speech as an advanced icebreaker it would be well enough received to result in a successful candidature either for me, or for any other candidate of such mettle? How would you feel about your club's recruitment philosophy and what, in the longer term that quality of recruitment might bring to your personal desire for a better mettle? Could you, either to yourself, or to me, or to anyone, think of a club environment that aligns itself wirth such more steadfast mettle and standing of the frey? Each for each, club for club, the decisions are yours. In the interim, I watch to see what will transpire, not only in Montreal, but globally, given what I can do for the distant online.
this video won't make my public speaking disappear but it gave me new ideas on how to try and improve. good explanations with examples. finally, some tips that makes sense!
I have to write and present a speech being one of the characters from a book, what opening should I use? p.s the book I'm reading is 'the story of tom brennan' thankyou!
I really liked the ted examples,i found myself so hooked on what was being said I almost forgot what the actual purpose of the video I was watching was. Defiantly some useful points.
Being a confident speaker begins with having a great topic! Need an informative speech topic? Just ask me. Need a persuasive speech topic? Just ask me. Topic Genie is Fast, Fun, and Easy!
I am currently running for secretary on class(I don't wanna be president it is too stressful) I have social anxiety help me lol. But I am one of the people who has good leadership from what people tell me. I always hear this "good afternoon today I am running for....." seriously it is very obvious lol
+Jeff Roy (Jean-François Roy) Of course! The sound isn't the best, but the organization and examples are excellent. The shorter time frame is great for these purposes too. If you have more of similar material, let me know where they are. If not, thanks for this one.
+Mark Lieberman Yes, I have more; if you check my channel, you'll see about 10 videos on public speaking; like this one, on how to end a speech: th-cam.com/video/R3wlW6PaTsA/w-d-xo.html
Jeff Roy, When I have just finished watching your INSPIRATHIONAL VIDEO I realized that you helped me out so much with my speech and I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for being here and making this video on TH-cam. Soon I will show this to my teacher... she will show this to my class and my peers will be so THANKFUL for watching this video... not my video but YOUR video... Just have to say THANK YOU again because you are so AWSOME!!! ( hits the subscribe button )

+Lauddemer Panntino I'd like to help you, but this is a little complicated; I suggested you google it; there's a lot of info about that online; good luck.
sir my name is Wasif Amin and i am an assistant professor in one of the Afghanistan universities sir, I have one problem when i am talking or lecturing to the students i keep talking rapidly and quickly so how should I manage to speak and talk normally. Thanks
Hi Mohammad; let me make a confession: I have the same problem; here's a blog I wrote about this last year: thepeaklearner.com/blog/how-i-still-struggle-with-the-most-common-communication-mistake/
You see to have forgotten your audience. Your opening has to be relative to your audience. For example "Why are you here today" or "What do you expect from today?" Jamie Oliver's was good because it got attention for a number of reasons.. Any speaker must surely consider their audience when choosing how they want to open?
Great and mercifully short! You just helped me orient the beginning of my own upcoming speech much more effectively. Thank you!
Thanks for your great feedback!

Please fix the audio/video quality :-(
You see to have forgotten your audience. Your opening has to be relative to your audience. For example "Why are you here today" or "What do you expect from today?"

Duly noted, Lance ;-)
