Hey James Taylor here and today I'm in Abu Dhabi in the UAE grab
just be speaking.
I want to share with you a technique that I learned from the singer
Frank Sinatra on how to give a better speech. So there's a
technique in speaking is called an apology tour and apology is
essentially a grace note you that you place this kind of sounds a
little bit of key over out of place before the main chord, or the
main notes that you looked into place. And the way that we use this
in speaking is we can often open a speech or presentation by
telling a story of night will record a cold open story that puts
the audience a little bit of balance. It creates tension in the
presentation that you're looking to do, but like an apology tour,
then you relieve that tension. case with a chord. But in the case
of speaking, you then relieve that tension by telling the final
part of the story of how that story comes back around. Again, if
you watch lots of TV shows, they use a version like this all the
time and storytelling, we call it opening and closing loops. So
character, something may happen to a character in one episode, but
only that's part of the story only gets resolved a few episodes
later. So I would encourage you to try and add some tension into
your presentations by doing that kind of apology, a tour. But then
what you want to do is you want to then release that tension and
relieve that tension and for the audience. We actually like a
little bit of tension is quite good to do that. It keeps us on the
edge of our seats and makes the audience want to lean in to your
presentation. My name is James Taylor. Thanks for watching.
