How to Speak So That People Will Listen

[S]
Based on the video title, ‘How to Speak So That People Want to Listen’ by Julian Treasure, we
can instantly get the idea of how or what the speaker wants to deliver. He started by giving info
about what human voice is, and we can say that his definition is on point. Julian Treasure then
followed the seven deadly sins of speaking which is we need to avoid. Seven deadly sins of
speaking are composed of gossip, judging, negativity, complaining, excuses, lying, and
dogmatism. Those mentioned sins would cause people not to listen. In addition, Julian
explained the HAIL word that composed four powerful cornerstone or foundation if we want
our speech to be powerful and to make change in the world, those are Honesty (be clear and
straight), Authenticity (be yourself), Integrity (be your word), and lastly, Love (wish them well).
He also stated the amazing toolbox or instrument that increase the power of speaking. First one
is Register but it may not be useful everytime. Second is Timber that shows how your voice feel.
Third is Prosody, which act as the metal language. Fourth is Pace, the speed at which someone
speaks. Fifth is Pitch, by adjusting the pitch, it can describe how you feel. Lastly, Volume, just
like pitch, it determines the feeling of speaker. Warming up and doing exercise with your mouth
before speech or talking to someone can help your mouth to form and deliver message clearly.

We often get bore just by listening to someone. According to Syed Muhammad Naeem, a
Quality Control Officer of Pakistan Cables, the public becomes bored when the speech gets too
long or when it becomes too touchy. People usually have this perspective that a specific tone is
required to deliver a speech while we totally condemn this phenomenon. Your speech must be
free style or formal even but in your natural style not in an adopted one. In today’s generation,
communication can be perform in many ways. It can be perform personally, or through internet
such as Facebook, Instagram, Viber, and other social media platforms. The problem about
speaking is that many of us was having a lack of vocabulary, not being confident to speak, not
being used in talking to class, and difficulty in expressing words or sentences. The cause of
problems most people faced was being afraid of making errors. In order for us to make
listeners pay attention to what we say, is by applying the HAIL as what Julian Treasure stated.
10 Ways to Have a Better Conversation

[S]
Celeste Headlee started her speech by asking questions to the listeners which is a great way of
getting the attention of audience. She implied jokes that gained interests to listeners so that
they won’t get bored. Headlee said that we are more compromise, which is true. Jumping to
the point of her speech, she discussed the 10 ways to have a better conversation. She started
with the phrase ‘don’t multitask’, means be present, be in that moment. Being in the middle of
conversation must require each one’s attention. Focus on that person who you talk with in
order for you to understand whatever he/she says. Don’t do things that might split your
attention while listening. ‘Don’t pontificate’, means don’t express your opinion in a way
considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic. I mean, don’t ever state your opinion in the first
place if you don’t want to receive a response or arguments, because you need to enter every
conversation assuming that you have something to learn. She said that the true listening is
setting aside of oneself. ‘Use open-ended question’, start your question with what, when,
where, why, who, and how. Don’t ask them with questions that is answered by yes or no, so
that the respondent can elaborate their points. With these, the conversation will go longer and
deeper as the two individuals exchange thoughts and opinions. ‘Go with the flow’, she said that
facts will come into your mind and you need to let them go out of your mind, because why not?
If you’re going to stick and ask with just one thought that is being said, the flow of the
conversation might interrupt. That’s why we need to pay attention in order for us to catch up
whatever he/she says. ‘If you don’t know, say that you don’t know’, simple as that, ‘coz talk
should not be cheap as she said. ‘Don’t equate your experience with theirs’. Never ever,
compare yours with others because they might think you’re rude, because all experiences are
individual. It is not about you, you don’t need to take that moment to prove how amazing you
are or how much you suffered, she added. ‘Try not to repeat yourself’, because she said it’s
really boring. It is true that we tend to do it a lot while having a conversation, but we can
change it. ‘Stay out of the weeds’, stay focused whoever you are talking to, because they don’t
care about those simple details you put in every conversation, what they care about is you, they
care about what you’re like, and what you have in common. ‘Listen’, listen to what he/she say.
Listening is the most important skill that you could develop so pay attention and don’t get
distract. Last thing is ‘Be brief’, don’t input cliché in every conversation, just be on point and
talk concisely.
The Danger of Silence

[S]
Clint Smith expertly uses pathos as a way of capturing his audiences attention throughout. His
method of delivery also assists in really imparting his message. Instead of forcing his message
outward toward the audience, he seems to be truly living in it. He talks on the literal dangers of
silence and how the fear of speaking one's mind might lead to our democracy's collapse. He
conveys this message with eloquence and beauty, citing numerous instances in his life when he
refrained from expressing his ideas in order to please others around him. In fact, he refers to
stillness as "fear's residue”. He thought he couldn't "tell his truth" in these moments because
he'd damage prospective friendships, miss out on donations to his failing school, and ruin any
reputation he'd built for himself. The use of metaphors and real-life examples deepens his
message and allows the listener to comprehend how important it is for him to communicate it.
As previously noted, he utilizes numerous real-life instances, and you can watch the agony, joy,
or whatever feeling he is experiencing blossom in front of your eyes with each one. In fact, he
appeared being in such an emotional state at times that he has to close his eyes. Throughout
his speech, he is quite open and honest. His feelings are sincere and I could say that everyone
would commend him for expressing such emotions.
5 Ways to Listen Better

[S]
“Listening is our access to understanding,” says Julian Treasure. “Conscious listening always
creates understanding”, without conscious listening can turn the world into a horrible one. Our
culture, language, values, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, and intentions all influence on how
we listen. He proposes that we listen with awareness of our filters and adapt them to fit the
context and what we are listening to be a better listener. Julian Treasure discussed the five
ways to listen better, the first one is ‘Silence’, he stated that a three-minute exercise of silence
could help your ears to reset and recalibrate so that you can hear the quiet again. For me, it’s
kind of helpful because practicing three-minute silent could actually ease our mind. He called
the second one as ‘The mixer’, take note of the individual noises that contribute to the overall
soundscape of a noisy environment. Treasure added that we should ask ourselves “how many
channels of sound can I hear? How many individual channels in that mix am I listening to? You
can do it in a beautiful place as well, like in a lake. How many birds am I hearing? Where a re
they? Where are those ripples? It's a great exercise for improving the quality of your listening’.
Next one is ‘Savoring’ which is a beautiful exercise that finds joy in mundane sounds. Consider
the rhythm of the grinder or washing machine, for example. He refers to the everyday sounds
as "the hidden choir” because it’s around us every single time. Fourth is ‘Listening positions’,
adjust or change. This is “the idea that you can move your listening position to what's
appropriate to what you're listening to.” He means that there are many different “positions”
from which we listen: active, passive, expansive, reductive, and judgmental. Lastly, ‘RASA’,
stands for Receive means pay attention to the person; Appreciate, making little noises like
“hmm”, “oh”, “okay”; Summarize, the word ‘so’ is very important in communication; and Ask,
ask questions afterward. With those five ways, I believe that it can make world better.
The Power of Saying Thank You

[S]
Occasionally, I believe that there are holidays specifically designed for The Appreciation Factor,
and if so, today is undoubtedly one of them. Thank you is a powerful expression. It has the
potential to provide joy. It has the ability to instantly disarm someone who is feeling
unappreciated. Additionally, it might serve as validation for the effort. I can say that Laura
Trice’s speech about saying thank you is a very inspiring and it actually gave me hopes in this
world. The word ‘Thank You’ indicates that a nice deed is recognized and remembered. It is a
potentially powerful gesture, as does choosing not to express gratitude. Turning ‘thank you’
into habit is astonishing I can say. It definitely can give a world peace that most of us want.
That’s why we should appreciate small efforts and things because it is a good start for a better
tomorrow.
Own Your Behaviors, Master Your Communication, Determine Your Success

[S]
Louise Evans started her speech by telling her personal life. She talked about building
relationship with the very important person, which is the daughter of her partner. As she began
building good start of relationship with that person, things turned into full of doubt. She began
to introduce the 5 chairs of choices. The Jackal Chair, in this chair, we love to blame, to
complain, to punish, to gossip. In that stage, we’re letting ourselves be insensitive and naïve.
The Hedgehog Chair, it is where when we behave like hedgehogs, we feel very vulnerable, we
curl up, and we protect ourselves against what we feel is an evil world. Meerkat Chair, being in
this chair can make us mindful, aware, observant, and conscious. I know that we tend to get
irritate and annoy sometimes depending on the situation, but we must have this patience in
ourselves. Next is the ‘Sliding Door Chair’ wherein we make the right choice we move into
successful living. She emphasized the word DETECT in that chair, because that is the stage
where we become detective of ourselves, we look at our own behaviors. With these, we can
identify what lacks on us and it will make us being self-aware at all times. Moving on to the next
chair, ‘The Giraffe Chair’, which is a very beautiful chair, but a very difficult one, according to
Louise. By simply looking at giraffe, the first one we notice is its neck. Giraffe’s neck is somehow
useful because it gives wider vision. Now, if we apply ourselves with giraffe and having a wide
vision, we can easily understand the feeling of others. With the normal vision of ours, we often
forget and don’t mind what other’s feel. Having a clearer and wider vision is a step in looking in
another’s perspective, that’s why we have this saying, that ‘always put yourself in someone
else’s shoes’. So the idea of the 5 Chairs is to help us slow down how we are behaving in every
moment of our lives and to analyze what’s going on.
