How to Speak So Others Listen

We review Julian Treasure's pointers on How to speak so that people want to listen." He discussed several key tools to improve communication and make speeches more engaging. It's not just how you say it but what you say.

Julian shares his four-part analogy for speaking which he calls the HAIL Method. We'll provide a few examples of people who embody these characteristics for further reflection.

For our listeners who want to go deeper on this topic:

1. Julian Treasures Ted Talk which is just 10 minutes long can be seen here.
2. Internalize some of the inspirational speakers who are examples of Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, and Love. Leverage that inspiration and cross check your own planned talks for elements of the HAIL Method.
3. Curate what you are ingesting digitally, audibly and through all your senses. It does make a difference to the quality of your life and those around you if you are surrounding yourselves with more positivity.
