corporate coaching, mastering the ideas and practices of speeds
and the way we speak. So are you a leader
or a manager? Wants too excited and
motivated employees, but don't know where to start. You, a native or a
non-native English speaker wants to up their game
in communication. If you're a non-native speaker, you want to learn
the techniques of speech and the
practices and ideas. And if you are
needing the speaker, you still want to up
your game when it comes to speech and pronunciation. And in being able to be
an effective speaker. If you're one of those and if you didn't
know where to start, then this course is for you. Hi, I'm Dr. Woodrow catechol. I am a certified leadership
coach and an author. I'm passionate about
corporate coaching. The hand. In this particular course, I wanted to present to you
the ideas and practices of employing the effective
techniques of speech in say, putting stress on certain words. Speak in pace, in pause in
grouping words together. So again, if you're the manager, owner, business person,
or the team leader, you could learn to
employ speeds and you'll be able to motivate
people suddenly or overtly. So that's the goal of the class, That's the whole idea.
That's the big idea. Here. The techniques you'll
learn in this course, for example, mastering
pronounciation of compound words. Understanding the techniques
so pauses or paste. What will they do? The understanding
those techniques and mastering the skills will set you apart from so many other
speakers and leaders. What's more will
also be engaged in a class project where
I will request you to pronounce and shared
experiences pronouncing five common business works in a five commonly used business
words of your choice. So I'm excited to have
you join the course. So let's get started.
2. Word Stress.: Let's talk about word stress. Let's just say stress. In our speeds. The individual words. Anytime you have a
one syllable word, like the word, word, it is one part. Those are all containing the
stress of the word, right? And then of course they
come into the sentence. And how do you direct a person to feel what we'd
like them to feel? How do we direct
a person to feel, what we'd like them to feel? Or perhaps make a choice
that we'd like to. Perhaps make a choice that we'd like them to make based
on the worst that we use. And the way that we
see those words. Did you notice what I did there? I said the way that
we say those words. So I would stress on the
body investors and C. Now let's go to
individual words. First. Multi-syllable,
multi-syllable words. It comes from a root word. Let's, let me give you
examples of a couple of words. Analyze, analyze, whereas
the stress on Analyze. Second syllable,
man is a manager. Analyze. Man is there. The other two syllables sort
of drop-off or drop away? Analyze, manager. Now, some more examples. Multi-syllable words
can be Analysis. In analysis, whereas
the stress on the second syllable analysis,
managerial position. Minor G, is the stress manner. Every board has stress on different syllables and
you have to get it right. And you can also be gated right? By observing other
people's speech. Kind of noticing where the tone, where the stress is
put on naturally. That's also that also
makes you a better speaker through observing or noticing other people's speech.
3. More Tips on Word Stress.: It two more tips on stress. What do we want to do
when we're communicating? Is that we do as much as we can to make the job of
the listener easier. What do we want to
do when you are communicating is that we will do as much as we can to make the job of
the listener easier. We take away as many barriers as we can to this
connection that we have. So it's really important
to know as you go through speaking and you
start to use compound words. It's really important
to you as you go through speaking and you
start to use compound words. That's stress is key to
know how to say the word. But it's key to
know where to put the stress as you build
words in the compound words. Let me restate that. It's not just key to know
how to say the word, but it's key to know
where to put the stress as you build words in
the compound words. So we'll talk about word stress in the sense
of making a difference. Notice what I did there.
Maybe say this sentence. We'll talk about what stress in the sense of
making a difference. I hit the word difference. I want my listener to
acknowledge and understand that. That's key, That's a key word in the sentence as a key part, key idea in the
sentence keyword. So I hit that particular
word, making a difference. So that was one tip. And some will, some people
kind of talk in this loads and monotonically and it
can put people to sleep. But we don't wanna do that. Why? Because the number
one sin of leadership and communication is boating. Don't be, don't be a bolt. Discard all ideas of
presenting a monotone speech. You don't want to do
that, you don't want to. Monotone speeds have
learned how to put stress on different syllables in multi-syllabic words,
in compound words, or learn how to hit certain
words in a sentence to emphasize your
key idea or quiet. For example, it's important that you follow this next step. Now we know we can do
it in myriad ways. Same sentence, you know, we
can say it in myriad ways. It's important that you
follow this next step. It's important that you
follow this next step.
4. The Class Project.: Based on the insights
and tips that he learned in the course
or class so far. I want you to select five compound words
and record yourself. Speaking. Pronouncing those words with the correct pronunciation or putting stress on
the right syllable. I want you to select five key everyday words that are used in everyday conversations
in a business setting. Preferably and
record your voice, putting the stress on the right syllable
in those five words. So that's your class project.
5. Breaking Sentences up into Words.: Let's talk about breaking
sentences up into word groups. Breaking sentences
up into groups. But before that, let's first talk about the ideas in speech. And we were discussing about the intentions and the
way you say a word. So let's talk some more on that. And what I'm really trying to say is by changing
the word choice. See how the intentions or
the influence changes. Just by sending the word choice, you change the intention
or the interference. What do you take? What you take away from it is, let me help you understand
this with an example. For example, let's take
the example of a sentence, the example auto phrase,
example of a phrase. And how do we employ
different aspects of speech? Sentence. It is discussed. And the phrase is, I want to thank you all for your
great work this year. I want to thank you all for
your great work this year. That's really saying I
am including everybody. I'm including Mary
Betsy, Zc, John Ralph. Again, the emphasis or
the word stress was all. I wanted to thank you all for
your great work this year. I want to thank you all for
the great work this year. There are slight height
and the slight rise and then naturally fall. The way you make a statement. I want to thank you.
All. Play agreed. Work this year. Now,
what if I said this? What if the sentence was
the sentence or the Fraser? I want to thank you all for
your great work this year. I want to thank you all for
the great work this year. Hitting work. Well, so key,
because work was so key in this particular phrase. What I'm trying to say is
that work was a key idea. I want to thank you all for
the great work this year. I want to thank you all for
your great work this year. Changing consumer base, COVID. And yet your hard work did
wonderfully, you did it. So I want you to be an observer to notice sudden words and how
they are naturally. How that naturally pronounced. You're gonna naturally find
which words to hit or do it. But I do want you to be aware
of how you hit the award, aware of how you hit a word. Why? Because it's again
that will launch off. Giving this to you and giving am giving you comfort
and giving you NRZ, am giving you motivation and whether those things
are that I'm giving you. Now, let's talk about breaking sentences
up into Word Groups. So this is the idea of this, this is the main premise
of this lecture here. It's also titled that way. So helpful when you're making a speed and when you're
making a presentation, it's helpful to have individual
phrases that go together. What does it bring about? Why is it important? It's important that we not
boring, you're not repetitive. Not everything sounds
exactly the same. So I did you notice
what I did there? Employed I use three phases. Each phase phrase had a pause. You're not boring. You're not repetitive. Not everything sounds
exactly the same. There was a little pause
there after each phrase. So I didn't say,
you know, growers, So you're brewing
in a repetitive not everything sounds
exactly the same. No, you don't do it. The pauses powerful,
there's a power in pause. You know, it's employed
by grid speakers. So it's really key.
You make a pause. And unpause is so
good for impact. We were talking about
two things here, stress and where to
break up a sentence.
6. Pace.: Hi, welcome back. So the next idea is paste. What's a good pace to talk at? I'll get to it in a moment. But first, let me
discuss a little bit about the last key idea
in the last lecture. But breaking sentences
up into keywords and stressing certain
words and keywords. So let me give you an example
of a phrase or sentence. Today's action item is to
get more customers involved. The new database. This is an example
of a sentence. Today's action item is to get more customers involved
into the new database. I hit certain words I
hit accident item is to get new customers to get customers involved
in the new database. Action item, what's the plan of action was the actual night. So x and item, i hit that word and
then new customers. Then I hit database. For instance, you and I spoke different
languages and save. You understood English,
but only minimally, then you still get the point. When you hear me
hitting certain words. Eating key ideas of
stressing on certain words. That's the importance
of breaking sentences up into
keywords and heating. Keywords are stressing
on keywords. Get now get to this premise
of this lecture organism. Let's now get to pace or speed. What's a good pace to talk at? You heard me talking in
our different topics here. You heard me speak sometimes
a little bit fast. So if I go very fast, I might be unintelligible or it could be on
the other side. People are following me and
I'm getting them excited. But it could also be that I'm getting a
little bit actions that there's something to be
said about speed and slowly. Also like how fast
or slow can you go? That's an important point
thing about speaking a little bit more
quickly is that I can oftentimes then lose those nice places
where I can hit worse or breakup sentences. So those two little things
that we were talking about, word stress and looping phrases together and hitting keywords
can be a little bit lost. There's also the idea of
speaking very slowly, really slowing things down. So people can get to you. So people can understand
what it really is. This, that without speed there's something to be said about
finding that sweet spot. That's key. Finding that sweet spot. I encourage you to
record yourself speaking and watch
yourself on playback. Sort of assess your
own performance. Are you going too
fast or too slow? And there's also one
more point about speed, which is it doesn't
need to stay static. It doesn't need to stay
at the same speed. Things can go a
little bit faster, and things can go a little bit
slower. It really depends. We don't have to go
all over the place. So that's what I
wanted to emphasize. This particular
lecture is important, but varying your
pace is important. It doesn't have to stay static. You can value paste that sort of flat. When it comes to speed. You can discover
your sweet spot.
